loadstring You have to enable it in-game now. I believe it's under ServerScriptService. If you use a LocalScript, you don't have to change anything (loadstring still works on clients).

Thanks. Is there any downside to allowing loadstring in ServerScriptService? Seems like there must be if they have the option to disable it.

Loadstring is a way for exploiters to insert scripts into your game using lame programs like CE Disable it to stop this, enable it to run scripts as strings honestly, I would enable it, and just add a vote shutdown script.

Ok. Another question, is there any way that I can get the output of a function in string form that I can put into the game? I know how to get error messages, but how would I get normal print messages?

just wanted to say, with loadstring enabled, you cant award points in your game.
