How does loadstring work in roblox studio?
Saw loadstring in a tutorial for running code stored as a string on the server. It errors for me. Do I have to enable something in ServerScriptService first, and is it a bad idea security wise?

it takes a string of lua and turns it into a function you can call. so loadstring("print('hi')")() prints hi.
two catches. it's off by default, you have to tick LoadStringEnabled in the properties of ServerScriptService. and it only works in server scripts, never in a local script.
honestly though, what are you trying to do with it? running code from a string is the first thing exploiters go looking for, and there's nearly always a cleaner way with modulescripts.
