What is Luacheck

Features

  • Automatically applies script and workspace properties
  • Automatically applies the Enum namespace
  • Has definitions for Roblox types and variables
  • Specifically ignores adding Workspace and other global variables following Roblox’s standards
  • Does not show deprecated properties

Run and updating

To run you need Lua (5.1 or higher). Running the script will pull the latest version of the Roblox API and then pull in the latest Enums and game/workspace properties.
