Executing code

Warning

Because Luau Runner uses the execute code cloud api to run code, this means physics will not be simulated. Also do not trust benches ran from this bot as this is using loadstring which may not accurately represent the final execution environment.

Luau Runner has a few custom globals that you can use.

TIMEOUT: number

The maximum time (in seconds) that a code execution is allowed to run before terminated. Defaults to 15 seconds.

TIMEOUT = 3 -- make sure it's not a local
while task.wait(.5) do
    print('hello') -- will stop after 3 seconds
end 

Info

The maximum time a session can run for is 5 minutes before it shuts down.

OUTPUT_LOGS: boolean|"LOG"

Should a file be attached once the code execution finishes, containing all the outputs, defaults to false. If set to "LOG" then headers will not be included.

TIMESTAMP: boolean

Should the time stamp be included when logging. If false it will not give a timeout warning and does not apply to errors. Defaults to false.

io.write(...any)

Does not add spaces between args and does not output tables expanded.If TIMESTAMP is false, then do not create a new line.

io.read():string

yields the thread until /input is given. Unlike lua this does not have any args.

Warning

/input will only send it for the latest session started by the user. It will not process inputs from other users.

log(text:string,color:string,newLine:boolean?)

Logs text to the console with a specified color. If newLine is true, it will add a new line after the text.

Valid colors are (casing does not matter):

• black
• red
• green
• yellow
• blue
• purple
• white
• cyan

table: table

The default table library has extended functions provided by Akari <3. These just provide a few gimmicky functions on top of the default table library. Check ExtendedTableLibrary for more information.

local t = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
print(table.getAllocatedArraySize(t)) --> 9
t[10] = 10
print(table.getAllocatedArraySize(t)) --> 16

print(table.concat(t, ", ")) --> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
