Roblox Studio, October 2026: Luau syntax and Character Controller

New Luau syntax in beta

The creator forum's weekly recap for 5 to 9 October says if local and if const are new Luau syntax. They declare a variable directly inside an if or elseif condition. The feature is available in Studio through the Beta Features tab.

Character Controller Library

On 8 October Roblox opened a Studio beta for a major Character Controller Library update. It adds default Sprint and Crouch abilities and a Custom Abilities API. The forum notes that the system is written in Luau, although some abilities still use the existing Humanoid controllers to keep current behaviour.

Debugger API and animation graphs

A Studio Debugger Luau API was announced in the week of 2 October, with ScriptDebuggerService in beta, giving plugins control of the debugger. Animation Graph Editor betas added State Machines and Luau expressions in the week of 5 to 9 October.

How to use the generator safely

Ask for scripts that work in stable Studio, and test any beta-only feature in a separate place before it reaches your live game. Name the Roblox service or API you want, so the scripts use the right names.

EnderDevelopment writes Luau scripts one per file, with a README that shows where each script goes in the place hierarchy. The scripts are for games you build. We do not generate exploits or cheats.
