Where do I paste “What are Roblox Scripts?” in Roblox Studio?

Paste into a Script in ServerScriptService (use LocalScript for client-only visuals/input).

Is it safe to copy and paste Roblox Lua scripts?

Treat any third-party code as untrusted. Read it first, avoid obfuscated code, and never run scripts that request logins, downloads, or suspicious permissions. Test in a separate place file before using in a main project.

Why doesn’t a copied script work right away?

Most scripts need configuration (RemoteEvents, object paths, settings) and may depend on other modules. Also, some scripts only work in the correct context (server vs client). Use the “Where to paste” guidance and re-check any required dependencies.

What are Roblox Scripts?

Roblox scripts are pieces of code written in Lua , a lightweight scripting language, that are used to add functionality and interactivity to games on the Roblox platform. Developers use scripts in Roblox to control how the game behaves, define interactions between players and the game world, and implement custom features that make their games unique. There are two main types of scripts in Roblox: Here’s a simple example of a server script that prints a message when a player joins the game

Where to Paste This in Roblox Studio

Recommended placement based on category (Other scripts)

Server gameplay/system logic (recommended for gameplay/systems)

Script in ServerScriptService

Server scripts are authoritative and better for systems like inventory, quests, damage, rewards, and validation.

Common alternatives

Client-side companion code

LocalScript in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts

Use a LocalScript only for visuals/input. Keep security-sensitive checks on the server.

Shared code between server/client

ModuleScript in ReplicatedStorage

Put shared helpers in a ModuleScript and require it from both server and client scripts.

Tip: if the script references RemoteEvents/RemoteFunctions, create them in ReplicatedStorage and keep validation in server scripts.

How to Use This Script

Follow these simple steps to get started

Open Roblox Studio and create or open a test place.

Insert a Script or ModuleScript where it belongs (ServerScriptService / StarterPlayer / ReplicatedStorage).

Paste the code, read through it, and update any configuration values.

Play-test locally and iterate until it behaves as expected.

Script Code

Copy the code below and review it carefully before use

script.lua

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
2    print(player.Name .. " has joined the game!")
3end)

Notes & Responsible Use

Read this section before running third‑party code.

This page is published for informational and educational purposes. Roblox may restrict certain behaviors and some scripts can violate Roblox’s Terms of Use. Always use good judgment and follow platform rules.

Before executing any Lua script, scan for suspicious calls (network requests, remote loads, obfuscated strings) and understand what it does. If you’re learning, start by reading the code and identifying the configuration values you can safely adjust.
