LuaSourceContainer

The base of every object that holds code: each ShotScript or plain Luau file in your project is one.

You never make one: Instance.new refuses every script class, since a script comes from the project's tree. Add it in the editor and reach it through script or root. IsA("LuaSourceContainer") is true for every script, and Clone copies a script's source with it.

ShotInstanceabstractFolders and scripts

A base class: you work with its subclasses.

Example

Programs and modulesShotScript

-- This program is a .shot file and Prices a plain Luau module (Prices.luau, returning a table): both are ModuleScripts.
use Prices

print("an Apple costs " .. Prices.Apple .. ", a Pear " .. Prices.Pear)
local files : {ModuleScript} = { script, root.Prices }
for _, file in files do
	print(file.Name .. ": ModuleScript " .. tostring(file:IsA("ModuleScript")) .. ", LuaSourceContainer " .. tostring(file:IsA("LuaSourceContainer")))
end
print("the program's Parent is the project's root: " .. tostring(script.Parent == root))

What it printedOutput

an Apple costs 3, a Pear 2
Main: ModuleScript true, LuaSourceContainer true
Prices: ModuleScript true, LuaSourceContainer true
the program's Parent is the project's root: true
