^ i knew that you cannot save instances, but since roblox doesn't let you edit source in scripts, do you need to use linked source or what?

you could save it as a string, or the number of an asset you can insert

The Source property of a script cannot be read or written, only a plugin can do so.

what about save data which then a very advanced script can read and perform the correct functions.

That would be a super cool script

@chexy that is irrelevant in this case, OP could just enable loadstrings then run the script that way. i.e:

loadstring'print(5)''';

You can save strings but having loadstring() enabled in your place doesn't make it very secure.

@Mister that was a while ago, pretty sure exploiters can use loadstring regardless of if it is enabled or not anyways...so it's useless
