run_secure

function run_secure(text: string)

Runs protected code. text must be a base64-encoded protected payload — passing plain Lua source raises Invalid base64 encoded data - Size not divisible by 4. Since the protection tooling isn't public, this function isn't usable with ordinary scripts.

Code protection is not available to the public.

Set Fast Flag

function setfflag(FFlag: string, value: string)

Intended to set the fast flag FFlag to value. Marked incomplete (below) — setting a flag has no effect that getfflag can read back.

This function is not complete.

Get Fast Flag

function getfflag(FFlag: string): number

Intended to read the fast flag FFlag, but currently a stub — it returns 0 for every flag, real or not.

This function is not complete.

require

function require(path: string): table

Loads a .lua / .luau module by path. The extension is required and validated — require("mod") raises File has no extension, and any other extension raises Unsupported file extension: .x.

require resolves from its own module root, separate from the writefile/readfile workspace — a file that isfile confirms exists is still reported Module file does not exist, so you can't writefile a module and require it.

wait

function wait(time: number)

Yields the current thread for time seconds. Returns nothing — unlike Roblox's wait, which returns the elapsed time.

spawn

function spawn(target: function): nil

Runs target on a new thread; its body executes right away.

task.spawn

function task.spawn(target: function): nil

Runs target immediately on a new thread (synchronously — code after the call waits until target yields).

task.spawn does not forward extra arguments to target; use a closure: task.spawn(function() myFunc(arg) end).

task.defer

function task.defer(target: function): nil

Intended to defer target to the next cycle, but in the current build the callback never runs (a no-op). Use task.spawn instead.

task.delay

function task.delay(time: number, target: function): nil

Schedules target after time seconds. This was verified in Matcha 1.0.0 by scheduling a callback, waiting 0.05 seconds, and observing the callback run.

task.defer remains a no-op in the tested build; this correction applies only to task.delay.

task.wait

function task.wait(time: number?)

Yields the current thread for time seconds, or until the next frame if time is omitted. Returns nothing — unlike Roblox's task.wait, which returns the elapsed time.
