Is it possible to make ROBLOX access a file on your computer (that isn't hosted online)?

maybe its because you are putting "local" next to it.

Tried without local as well.

I found out there is a dofile and a loadfile and a load function.

prntscr/ajfr8k

I tried
f= loadfile("C:\Users\Windows\Documents\ROBLOX\HTTP Scripts\BaseScripts.lua")
f()

and

f = load(func["C:\Users\Windows\Documents\ROBLOX\HTTP Scripts"])
loadfile("BaseScripts.lua")
print(f)

I feel like im not even close. Ideas?

loadfile/dofile are sandboxed and cannot be accessed without a higher security context; which you will never have, because there's no reason people should be accessing the file system.

the roblox api dump is just that: a dump of everything you can use in lua. just because it's there, doesn't mean you can use it.

whoever told you otherwise is a fool. cough up some money and buy an actual host that allows you complete freedom over your server if you want to get stuff done.

or you can just use modulescripts if you want to update all admin scripts at once.

also there is no way to execute code hosted externally or locally. you simply can't.
