You can't play around with a scripts source from another script. You used to be able to but it was restricted. The best thing you'll be able to do is detect when a string value is changed, and then get the parent script to run it using pcall().

So, I couldn't create a script at a certain point in the program and then set it's content to a specific thing?

No, it was restricted, due to exploits and "Viruses" being able to do things to those scripts negatively.

Well, is there any way to copy and object and place it in the world?
