I made this script that sets itself's parent to nil (as in. script.Parent = nil)
And clicked the debug play button then back.
The script came back, good. But after saving and exiting the place it disappears.

Is there a haxy way to get scripts that were parented to nil?

I do remember that there was some hax in the old skid-era of ROBLOX that allowed to use stuff in nil

You could use a _G function as an entry to the script, otherwise you could keep a reference to it in _G.

. . .

Cntkill me, go away :(

If I help you will you go away?

If you set it to nil before you saved it there may be no way to get it back. But, you can check. Right click on your Roblox place file and open with notepad or a text editor. Ctrl-F something that was in your script. If it was found and it's your script, scroll up a little and change the parent where it says nil to "Workspace" or where you want it.

If it is not in your place file then it wasn't saved.

Next time don't delete it while you are working with it -.-

Keep a reference to that script that's parented to nil, like DrHaximus said.
I doubt there's a way to get scripts that are parented to nil without references.

You could have got the source back using Cheat Engine.

^ I believe that once you set a script's parent to nil, its source gets obfuscated.

You're wrong. I found the script in 5 different places in the memory after sending it to nil.

Prehistoric, what snox said actually worked, I think it's because I accedently saved it (I have a habit of clicking ctrl s every 10 seconds) after testing, forgetting to close.

But yeah.

Such a good habit. All these crying babies QQing about how unstable Studio is when we have the power of saving.

Studio is alright, except I tend to crash when using Find & Replace in scripts.
Just a heads up^^

That would make no sense, probably it just gets garbage collected and the memory it occupied gets write over.

It doesn't matter, it's server-side.

Best fix: Do not use the studio play/reset buttons. k? k.
Use Tools > Test > Start Server/Player.

There just can't be a way to do this, it won't show up in the place XML when nilled. You can easily hide it though, put it in a glue, which will not only hide the script but will hide the glue as well.
