Summary

Properties

Properties

Disabled

Read Parallel

Determines whether a BaseScript will run or not.

If a script is disabled by changing this property to true while the script is running, the current running thread of the script will be terminated.

If this property is changed from true to false, the script will run again. This means that Disabled can be toggled to restart a script:


scriptObject.Disabled = true
scriptObject.Disabled = false

Note that the above code snippet cannot be used within the script itself, since disabling the script from within itself will terminate the thread and the line to reenable it will never execute.

Enabled

Not Replicated
Read Parallel

Determines whether a BaseScript will run or not. This should be used in favor of the similar but opposite Disabled property.

If a script is disabled by changing this property to false while the script is running, the current running thread of the script will be terminated.

If this property is changed from false to true, the script will run again. This means that Enabled can be toggled to restart a script:


scriptObject.Enabled = false
scriptObject.Enabled = true

Note that the above code snippet cannot be used within the script itself, since disabling the script from within itself will terminate the thread and the line to reenable it will never execute.

LinkedSource

ContentId
Deprecated
Read Parallel

The content ID of an uploaded script. When set binds the uploaded code to the script's Script.Source.

By default, this property is set to '[Embedded]'. This means the source of the script is not linked to an upload script and is instead written in the script.


script.LinkedSource = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1014476" -- link source

Developers should remove a linked source via the properties window, rather than setting the property to '[Embedded]'.

For the LinkedSource property for ModuleScripts, please see ModuleScript.LinkedSource.

RunContext

Plugin Security
Read Parallel

Determines the context under which the script will run.

When using the Legacy RunContext scripts will only run when parented to certain containers dependent on whether they are a Script or LocalScript.

If RunContext is assigned while the script is running any threads created by the script will be terminated and the script will start running under the new context if possible.

Note, RunContext cannot be used from a LocalScript.
