[SOLVED] String is "too long" in loadstring?

Hi, I have been working on a code obfuscation script, and the part where the code should go has a placeholder in it. When the plugin starts, I use gsub to replace the placeholder with the script and then run loadstring on the script. Only problem is, Despite the string only being 10895 characters long, it still gives me the string is too long error.

Also note: the script itself works without the loadstring. Only whilst using loadstring on it it decides to be too long

Plugin Script

if not plugin then return end

local random = plugin:GetSetting("RandomNum")

if not random then
    plugin:SetSetting("RandomNum",math.random())
end

local button=plugin:CreateToolbar("VM_Obfuscation"):CreateButton("Obfuscate Selection","Obfuscates Selected Scripts","")
print("Starting")
button.Click:Connect(function()
    local rrandom = Instance.new("StringValue")
    rrandom.Value = random
    rrandom.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera

    button:SetActive(false)

    local s,m = pcall(function()
        for i,v in pairs(game.Selection:Get()) do
            if v:IsA("BaseScript") then
                print("\nObfuscating "..v.Name.."\n\n")
                local base = script.BASESCRIPT:Clone()
                base.Source = base.Source:gsub("lol data goes here i guess", v.Source)
                print(base.Source:len().."\n\n")
                loadstring(base.Source)()
--              base.Parent = script.Parent
--              base.Disabled = false
                repeat wait() until workspace:FindFirstChild("EncryptedScript"..random)
                base:Destroy()
                v.Source = workspace["EncryptedScript"..random].Value
                workspace["EncryptedScript"..random]:Destroy()
                print("\nObfuscated "..v.Name.."\n")
            end
        end
    end)
    if not s then
        warn("Couldn't obfuscate script! Send error message to developer of plugin: "..m)
    end
    rrandom:Destroy()
end)
