roblox-luau

separate

Script a Roblox experience in Luau: get services, create and parent Instances, connect events, run server Scripts vs client LocalScripts, and communicate across the client/server boundary with RemoteEvents/RemoteFunctions (server-authoritative). Use when building or debugging Roblox Studio scripts — when the user mentions Roblox, Luau, services, RemoteEvent, Instance.new, PlayerAdded, or client vs server. For saving player data use roblox-datastores.

When to use

• Use when writing Roblox scripts: getting services, creating/parenting instances,
• Use when the project has `Script`/`LocalScript`/`ModuleScript` objects, `.rbxl(x)`

When not to use

• persisting data across sessions
• remote protocol architecture
• exploit hardening
• rate limits
• high-frequency replication
• multi-client abuse testing
• generic Lua questions unrelated to the Roblox API
• engine-agnostic input/save architecture
