Disable all scripts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to run some code in the command bar to disable ALL scripts. That means modulescripts,locals,scripts.

But using:

for i,v in pairs(game:GetDescendants()) do if v:IsA("Script") then v.Disabled = true end end

runs into some Terrain.Locked kinda stuff:

The permissions are not granted. So I need help making a script that does what I want without getting shot down by some authority fail safe like this.

You can wrap the if statment inside a pcall (protected call, essentially catches errors) to stop the code from erroring.

For example:

for i,v in pairs(game:GetDescendants()) do
  pcall(function()
    if v:IsA("Script") then
      v.Disabled = true
    end
  end)
end

The errors shown will happen because you’re trying to read / write to a service or instance that is locked to higher privileges only.

I found out that using ScriptContext.ScriptsDisabled ScriptContext | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub is the correct implement to use with the command bar when using studio.

Your code is good at what it does. But do you happen to know how to properly check script security levels? Or is pcall really just the way to go?
