Roblox Luau Scripting

Script a Roblox experience in Luau: services, Instances, events, the server/client split, and secure cross-boundary communication. Targets the current Roblox engine and Studio.

When to use

• Use when writing Roblox scripts: getting services, creating/parenting instances, connecting events, deciding server vs client, or wiring RemoteEvent/ RemoteFunction communication.
• Use when the project has Script/LocalScript/ModuleScript objects, .rbxl(x) places, or a Rojo *.project.json, and code calls game:GetService(...).

When not to use: persisting data across sessions → roblox-datastores. Generic Lua questions unrelated to the Roblox API. Engine-agnostic input/save architecture → input-systems / save-systems.
