How to use Global Variables in 2 minutes | ROBLOX 2022

This video covers how to use global variables, specifically "_G" and "shared" in Roblox Studio. This topic isn't very known, and hopefully teaches you something about global variables within 2 minutes or less.

note:

global variables can only be called by scripts on the same "context" level, which basically means scripts that are of the same class. (so localscripts global variables can only retrieve global variables created in a localscript).

Hey,
I am trying to make a game where you input something, If the answer is right you get put to the next level
I made the level variable in a normal script
But the check for the answer is a local script

How can I make it so the level variable can be changed by the local script to the normal script?

i'd rather put random values in a folder in repl storage and then use the variables as their value

im new to scripting, how can exploiters get ahold of _G.? and what can they do with it

[hasherssaa]

I just don’t understand. Whether or not local is just used for a single person, singled server, or just a single function. When I think of global, I think of everyone so is that like shared cross data and info or more or so just more freedom in the string/function (whatever you’re using it in)?

[AkaObbies]

Aren't _G and shared the exact same?

[Vexilex]

Can I make a global function with this?
