[RESOLVED] getfenv and setfenv alternative?

Post by rater193 »

Hello, i was wondering if there was a workaround for using getfenv and setfenv, so i can add support for letting users adding basic lua code to their machines. If i cant use get/setfenv, then it will expose all game functions to the user, winch i was wanting to limit that with those functions.

The 4th argument to load() is what you want.

btw, i managed to get this to work :D

Code: Select all

/c local ret, err = load('local test = 1 print("load: "..tostring(load))', "", "bt", {["print"] = game.player.print, ["tostring"] = tostring})() game.player.print(tostring(ret)..", "..tostring(err))
im happy about that :P thx again for the help, i didnt know that load was a part of ACTUAL lua lol
