Shared versus _G which should I use?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Personally I prefer using shared as it looks nicer and is a Roblox Global, however _G is a Lua Global so I don’t know if it is better practice to use it? Would someone me able to answer this dilemma.

Preferably, none of them. There is rarely any case where you can accomplish something with global tables like shared or _G that ModuleScripts can’t.
shared and _G do the exactly same thing so there is no advantage/disadvantage over using one over another.

Hmmm I personally think…

MODULE SCRIPTS

Just learn the basics of module scripts, and you’re good to go. I wouldn’t recommend _G or shared.
