Quick start

Lynx started and signed in? If not, start with Installation.

1. 1

   Start Roblox

   In Lynx, open Editor and click Play, or start Roblox yourself.

   Join any experience. Lynx's emulator loads Lynx as the game starts. There's nothing to attach.

2. 2

   Check the client

   Click Clients. An attached client is listed with its avatar and how long it has been attached.

3. 3

   Run your first script

   Paste this into the editor and press CtrlEnter.

   hello.luau

   1local Players = game:GetService("Players")

   2local player = Players.LocalPlayer

   3local name, version = identifyexecutor()

   4

   5local message = "Hello, %s. %s %s is attached."

   6print(message:format(player.DisplayName, name, version))

   7

   8-- Outline your character so you can see the script worked.

   9local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight")

   10highlight.FillTransparency = 1

   11highlight.OutlineColor = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)

   12highlight.Parent = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

   The greeting prints to Roblox's console (F9). Your character gets a white outline.

4. 4

   Save it

   Press CtrlS and pick a name. The dialog opens in your Scripts folder.

   Click it under Files in the sidebar to reopen it. Right-click → Execute runs it.

What just happened

• identifyexecutor returns the executor's name and the module's version.
• print writes to Roblox's console, and to Lynx's Output panel once Settings → Client → Output Redirection is on.
• The rest is plain Roblox Luau, with the Lynx API.
