Im not sure what you mean by normal script but there are 4 types of scripts in Roblox. They all inherit from LuaSourceContainer.
- Script
- LocalScriptt
- ModuleScript
- CoreScript (we do not use this script type)
A script will commonly be called a server script as it reflects where the script is running (on the server).
A local script will only run on the players device (computer, tablet, phone ect) and only if they are a child of the following.
- Backpack
- Character model
- PlayerGui
- PlayerScripts.
- ReplicatedFirst
Lastly a module script will only run once when you require it in another local script or server script after that the cached result is returned. A module script must return a value and inherits the same security context as the script that required it. Note that the module is shared as a copy of so they are not a replacement for Remote Events / Functions.
