modern day scripts vs old scripts | Forum
Would scripts written in the latest versions of roblox studio work with these older versions? If not, what would I have to do differently in order for them to be able to work? Thanks.
It ultimately depends on if the script written in modern Studio is using objects and functions that are found within older clients. Tons of old stuff's been deprecated, and tons of new stuff has been introduced that old clients don't really know what to do with.
As an example, in the 2015 client, you can't use :Raycast() like on modern clients. Instead you'll need to use an older, now-deprecated function like :FindPartOnRay().
I'd say the best way to learn more about stuff like this is to look for now-outdated scripting tutorials on YouTube, or to look at old captures of the Roblox wiki on the Internet Archive.
Edit: There's also an API reference site that tells you when stuff was added to Roblox, so that's also useful. Link to it: https://robloxapi.github.io/ref/
