This is a guide to successfully run a Lua script published by community. There are several ways of doing that.

====  Dofile  ====
* Download the script to your TPT folder. (The folder with powder.exe and such)
* Memorize the name of file.
* Make sure you also know the file extension, it is considered a part of the name.
* Open your TPT console
* Type in ''dofile("filename")'' of course replacing ''filename'' with the one you memorized

If it says ''could not find file'' - maybe you entered the wrong filename.

==== Autorun ====
If you want some script be loaded everytime you run TPT, you can do the following. Although you might not be able to have several scripts on autorun.
* Download script to TPT folder.
* Change it's name to ''autorun.lua''
* Make sure you set the extension correctly, so it isn't ''autorun.lua.txt'' or something
* Run TPT

==== Using the script manager ====
Ultimate solution, allows you to start and stop multiple scripts from within TPT without having to edit the files each time. It also allows you to download moderator-approved scripts from a script server in a few clicks.
* Download cracker64's script from [http://tpt.io/:19400 here].
* Follow the instruction inside the forum post



If you get any errors from scripts, you should report them to the script contributor. Make sure to copy the error from the console.
