getgenv

Returns the executor’s global environment - a shared table across all scripts in the same Roblox session. Userscripts can add values to it, but they’re gone the moment you leave a Roblox game.

getgenv(): table

Returns

Top-level	What’s in it
Seliware’s environment	Seliware’s functions and libraries (getgc, hookfunction, the WebSocket library, and the rest), including whatever a user’s script writes there - bools, numbers, tables, etc.
Roblox globals	Reachable through the env’s raw metatable - print, task, and everything else a normal Roblox script sees.

Reaching Roblox globals through getgenv() (like getgenv().print) works, but there is no reason to - they are already in scope, so call print, task, and the rest directly. The one exception is require: use getrenv().require for the game’s copy, covered on the getrenv page.

Example

In a Roblox game, stop your script from running twice - executing it again stacks hooks and breaks what the first run set up.

Example 1

local env = getgenv()

Use this table to share variables and utility modules between scripts.
