Roblox Scripting Guide 2026

Whether you're new to Roblox scripting or an experienced user looking for the latest tools, this guide covers everything you need to know about the scripting scene in 2026.

What is Roblox Scripting?

Roblox scripting (also called exploiting) refers to running custom Lua code inside Roblox games. This allows players to add features, automate tasks, or modify game behavior that isn't normally possible.

Understanding Script Types

Client-Side Scripts

These run on your machine and can modify what you see and how your character behaves. Most scripts are client-side.

Examples:
- Speed hacks (modify WalkSpeed)
- Fly scripts (create BodyVelocity)
- ESP (create visual highlights)
- GUI scripts (add interface elements)

Server-Side Scripts (Rare)

These require a server-side executor (SSE) and can modify the game for all players. They're extremely rare and typically only available in specific games.

FE vs. Non-FE

Filtering Enabled (FE) is Roblox's security system. In FE games (which is nearly all modern games), client-side changes don't replicate to the server. This means scripts that modify your position or speed are only visible to you.

Lua Basics for Scripters

Roblox uses Luau (a fork of Lua 5.1). Here are the essentials:

-- Variables
local speed = 100
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

-- Functions
local function setSpeed(value)
    player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = value
end

-- Events
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
    char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = speed
end)

Key APIs

• game.Players.LocalPlayer — Your player object
• game:GetService("ServiceName") — Access Roblox services
• workspace — The 3D game world
• game:HttpGet(url) — Fetch scripts from URLs

Staying Safe

Do's

• ✅ Use trusted script sources
• ✅ Read scripts before executing them
• ✅ Use an alt account for testing
• ✅ Keep your executor updated

Don'ts

• ❌ Don't run scripts from random Discord servers
• ❌ Don't share your main account credentials
• ❌ Don't use scripts in competitive/ranked games
• ❌ Don't trust "free Robux" scripts

Where to Find Scripts

The best places to find scripts in 2026:

1. Script Hubs — In-game browsers with thousands of scripts
2. Community Forums — V3rmillion, MPGH, etc.
3. GitHub — Open-source script repositories
4. Discord Servers — Active scripting communities

The Future of Roblox Scripting

Roblox continues to update its security systems, and the scripting community continues to adapt. Key trends in 2026:

• Stronger anti-cheat — Byfron/Hyperion improvements
• Better obfuscation — VM-based protection becoming standard
• Script health tracking — Community-driven reliability reports
• Hub integration — One-click execution replacing manual paste
