How can i resolve this dev console error?

Asked 190 views1 answers

All i want to do is a dev console. Here's the script and error:

Script:

script.Parent.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
	
	local CurrentScript = false
	CurrentScript = script.Parent.TextBox.Text
	
	CurrentScript()
	
end)

Error:

attempt to call local 'CurrentScript' (a string value)

Well every time i try to use the console, it gives me an error. How can i turn the code i put in the textbox into a script instead of string?

Becaude it's a string value.

CurrentScript is not a function, rather a string. But you can use loadstring to execute Lua code as a string.

It returns a function that you call:

-- in a server script
loadstring("print(1)")()

loadstring can only be called on the server and there's already a dev console, why reinvent the wheel?

I know that it's a string. The thing is that my friend is the owner of the game, and only the owner have acess to Developer Console.
