A recent Roblox update broke some scripts in my game, at least I think so.
There are no errors in any of the scripts, they just do not work anymore
does anyone know how to fix this?

You’ve got to give more information.
What kind of scripts?
What were they doing before and after the update?
Local Scripts or Server Scripts?
Stuff like that…

and a weather script

When you say “its fine in other games but in most games they do not work” that doesn’t really describe the problem.
Imagine taking your car to a mechanic and saying “it’s fine most times when I drive it, but other times it doesn’t work”.
You would get charged a whole lot of money for them to try to find out what the problem is, then have to fix it.
If you told us what sections of the scripts aren’t working, or where they break, or what you get printed out in the Output window when you test the game in Studio that might lead us down a path to try to figure it out.
From your description it sounds like you probably got these scripts from the Toolbox and don’t even know how to write or troubleshoot a script.
If the scripts work in other games then you have an issue with this game, or a corrupt model or plugin that you’ve inserted from the Toolbox into the game.

You can try reverting your game to old versions and checking if those old versions work fine.
If the old versions do work fine then it’s not roblox studios fault.
I actually doubt it’s even studios fault because studio doesn’t change codes around, they make sure the game runs them correctly.
You can add:
print(“AnyTextHere”)
or
warn(“AnyTextHere”)
to your scripts to see which one is running correctly or not too. Hope this helps.
Vector3 figures are always slightly wrong because of how Lua works. The difference is nowhere near enough to recognise in practicality.
I have never had issues with them before
for instance, the HD admin has always worked and even works in new places, same with my weather plugin
my morph rigging script (Which a friend of mine scripted) always works whenever I press run so it can weld but now it will only work when I put the code into the command bar on studio
Again, what do you get in the Output window?
If a script errors you should see the script’s location, title and the error line listed in the Output window.
If you don’t have that window open just go to the View tool in Studio, click it and select the Output window.
If you’ve put a new Model or Plugin into your Studio tools that’s got a malicious section in it then your game may break and the scripts may be hidden in very weird places. Many copies of Plugins or Models have been put into the Toolbox containing scripts that cause errors or break games. Make sure the maker of the Model or Plugin is actually the original owner.
nothing out of the ordinary
just the usual stuff that comes up
no errors or anything
You need to provide some information for us to help you - re write your Topic with the template provided and answer the questions so we can help you.
Template:
You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
-
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
-
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
-- This is an example Lua code block
Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

I just want to find out why this is happening
-
Scripts started to not work even though they have worked before
-
I have tried disabling beta, finding errors, putting them in a new baseplate
The issue is that some sort of update with lua in studio might have messed up some scripts even though they do not have any sort of error in the coding. They have worked in the past but now they just do not do anything
I know you feel like you’re providing us information - but you’re telling us there is a problem - but not what it is, and presuming its something to do with Roblox.
Read back what you have written with the point of view of someone that has no idea what your game is, what is inside it, or any knowledge of what is wrong.
If the issue you’re having is with items you’ve inserted from the Toolbox - you will probably have better luck trying to contact the creators of those items than not telling us anything here.

“They do not do anything” That’s somewhere to start. Establish that the scripts are in fact non-functional.
This was already recommended. Try putting a print command at the top of the script that does not do anything and see if it prints that one line.
print(“This is a test”)
If this is not in the output window, your script is in fact not doing anything.

now everything is working how it should but its wierd that it did that
By any chance did you have a plugin like Animation Editor open? That breaks things randomly. Glad its working now.
no nothing was opened
I think its was just some glitch in studio
