ScriptContext¶

Supported Class Services NotCreatable NotReplicated Service

A service that manages the execution of all BaseScript objects.

10 Nova members · 7 modern Roblox members not implemented yet

Description¶

This service controls all BaseScript objects. Most of the properties and methods of this service are locked for internal use.

Roblox documentation

SetTimeout Supported Function Limits how long a script is allowed to run without yielding.

ScriptContext:SetTimeout(double seconds)

Limits how long a script is allowed to run without yielding.

Sets the watchdog time limit that the engine applies to running scripts. The value becomes the per-resumption execution budget: if a thread runs for longer than seconds since it was last resumed without yielding, the watchdog aborts it with the runtime error Script timeout: exhausted allowed execution time.

The timeout defaults to 0, which disables the watchdog so that scripts may run without any time limit. Call this method with a positive value to enable enforcement, or pass 0 to turn it back off.

Roblox reference signature

ScriptContext:SetTimeout(seconds: double): null

Security: PluginSecurity

Events¶

CamelCaseViolation Supported Event

CamelCaseViolation(Instance object, string member, Instance script)

No description available.

Security: RobloxScriptSecurity

Roblox documentation

Error Supported Event Fired when an error occurs.

Error(string message, string stackTrace, Instance script)

Fired when an error occurs.

Fires when an unhandled error occurs while running a script, reporting the error to any listening code. The engine raises this event from its error-reporting path when a thread terminates with an error, passing the error message, a formatted stackTrace string, and the script that was running.

This event does not fire for errors raised by the watchdog when a script exceeds its execution-time limit (see ScriptContext.SetTimeout()).

Roblox reference signature

Error(message: string, stackTrace: string, script: Instance)

Inherited members¶

Inherited from Instance: 8 properties, 36 methods, 7 events. They are documented on the base class page.

7 modern Roblox member(s) are not implemented yet — expand to inspect

Members declared by Roblox's ScriptContext class (or by a missing base class) that Nova does not expose. Use this list to scope a migration; the compatibility guide has the recommended workaround.
