Please Explain What RunContext Actually for?

can anyone explain it to me what actually RunContext used for? and is it useful or no?
thank you in advance :slight_smile:

RunContext essentially allows scripts to act as localscripts, by only working on the client. Localscripts are only active in certain hierarchies, like underneath a character instance or in ReplicatedStorage; whereas scripts can be active anywhere. A script with a RunContext of local will essentially make it a localscript that can run anywhere a script can. I think the reason RunContext was added was to streamline the way scripts work so that a script and a localscript could just be combined into one instance, but I could be slightly wrong about that.

Sorry if that explanation was long and confusing, but hopefully you get the jist.
