Do you use free community scripts in your roblox games?

There are loads of free scripts floating around for doors, shops and day/night cycles. As someone still learning, is it better to drop them in and study how they work, or write everything myself? Also a bit worried about hidden backdoors in some of them.

Ctrl+Shift+F in Studio searches every script in the place at once. after you insert anything free, search require and loadstring and you'll see straight away if something came along for the ride. free models love hiding scripts inside parts and meshes where you'd never look.

Use them to learn, but read every line before it goes in a live game. Backdoored ones usually hide a require() with a long number in it, or a loadstring/getfenv buried at the bottom of a long script. If you can't work out what a line does, don't ship it. honestly a day/night cycle is a good one to write yourself, it's only a few lines nudging Lighting.ClockTime.
