The "ID" part of it comes from a published module script. They upload the module script to Roblox and use the number in the module's link like an audio to run it in their game.
I'm unfamiliar with the "data" part, but I think it runs a function inside the module script with "data" as an argument.
Here's an example of how it works:
Script:
local Module = require(script.Parent.TestModule)("Test") -- Requires module and and puts an extra parenthesis to run the function. "Test" is an argument.
Module Script:
local function TestFunction(data) -- Note that we put "Test" as an argument, so data = "Test"
print(data) -- Prints "data"
end
return TestFunction -- The module returns the function, so requiring the module actually gives the function itself.
Hope this helped! If you have any questions, just comment!
