I don't think so but a guy is making me pay for a script and he says if I edit it in anyway it will break. (All I would be editing is the IDs)

@cnt
The maker of the script can put safety in it, though. For example it could have a hidden line of code that checks if all of the IDs == a hidden list of IDs and break if it does

That wouldn't work.

Doing:
local ID = 5
1234

Will automatic error.

Unless he did:

local ID = [[5
1234
]]

and tonumbers() it

local ID = 5512
23

--Error in script, unexpected 23 there

local ID = [[5512
23]]

--ID = "551223"
--tonumber(ID) -> 551223

@OP If it already works then you're only going to break it if you're a complete moron. If it turns out that you are, you can come back and tell everyone here what's wrong.

I can make a security script if you don't understand that it's possible

No you can't.
All you can do is pcall things.

You can't be like:

x = 5
3

if x == 5 .. "\n" .. 3 blah

No, you can't.

I have no idea what you're on about. You can have a second variable hidden far away in the middle of a script and if it doesn't == the original then it can remove the script. It's a really easy way to fool beginners.

I think it's pretty established that if you do that you fail, you didn't need to post a million things that all result in the same error

pcall doesn't evade compile-time errors.
