Help on recreating a "command line" gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to recreate the command bar gui in roblox.
What I want to know is is it possible to run a piece of text that is inside a textbox gui?
If I can how would I do it?

You can use a RemoteEvent to send whatever code is in the textbox gui, and use a server script to handle the code by using loadstring(code)(). Also make sure LoadStringEnabled is set to true in ServerScriptService

Can you give me a short example code

Create a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage called RunCode

LocalScript in a TextBox:

script.Parent.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RunCode:FireServer(script.Parent.Text)
end)

Script in ServerScriptService:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RunCode.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, code)
	loadstring(code)()
end)
