getscriptbytecode is part of the Script library. Script helpers inspect scripts loaded by the client, their bytecode and the Luau threads created for them.

The call is read-only: it resolves the current value when invoked and does not change the underlying state.

The aliases dumpstring(script) resolve to the same implementation.

Example

local script = getscripts()[1]
print(#getscriptbytecode(script), #dumpstring(script))

Notes

Aliases: dumpstring(script).
Script data reflects the client's live script objects and may change after execution.
