The Broken Script Controls and Settings
TAB replaced /removevhs. Z is zoom. Shift is sprint. Everything else is a copy.
The Broken Script’s Roblox page lists three controls on purpose. Everything else is either vanilla Roblox, a copy-specific command, or a rumor from the Java mod. Learn this page before you chase a silhouette with the wrong key.
Main place (88131666518447)
| Input | Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TAB | Settings | Includes VHS overlay. Mobile: TAB button near the Roblox menu. |
| Z | Zoom | Inspect Faraway, r2, and tab-list ghosts without closing distance. |
| Shift | Sprint | Leave Circuit range. Not a combat opener. |
| Roblox jump / camera | Standard | R6 avatars. |
| Chat | Event phrases | See chat triggers. |
Creator notes from the unofficial recreation: VHS removal moved into the TAB menu. /removevhs is dead on this place. If a 2025 video still tells you to type it, the video is outdated.
Why TAB matters more than sprint
The VHS bars are flavor until they hide an A-tier look-away entity. Nothingiswatching and r2 are worse when you cannot see the treeline. Open Settings, drop the overlay or the black bars, then play. Full checklist: settings checklist. This is legal. It is not a script.
Volume also lives here. The experience warns about loud sounds. Circuit, heartbeat hello-blocks, and crash stingers can spike. Keep a limiter on if you are on headphones at night.
Copy-specific extras (not the main listing)
Other Roblox places named The Broken Script advertise:
/reputationor/rep/structures/nullstatus/tbs_config/help/pvp/removevhsstill in chat- R rotate block, C coordinates, Ctrl run
Those are useful if you intentionally joined a sandbox clone with 26 structures and 17 events listed on the page. They are not guaranteed on A Broken Promise. If a command does nothing, you are not missing a secret — you are on the main place. Return to getting started.
Java-mod commands (/TBS_config, /TBS_Devmode, pass-code 2018, Fzzy Config) do not exist in Roblox Lua. Do not paste them from the Minecraft wiki into chat.
Camera and zoom discipline
Z-zoom is how you play the entity tier list without turning every sighting into a chase. Pipeline:
- See a figure.
- Zoom. Do not sprint yet.
- Match silhouette on players.
- If the name is Nothingiswatching, look down and leave — anomalies.
- If it is surface Null, do not cave-dive — how to find Null.
Shift-sprint is for the moment after you have already decided to leave. Sprinting at r2 is how highlight reels happen.
Mobile and console notes
Mobile has the same TAB / Z / Shift mapping through on-screen buttons. The TAB control is easy to miss because it sits near the Roblox hamburger — that is intentional so it does not cover the world. Console players use the same Settings path if the experience is available on their device; if TAB is unbound, open the in-experience settings button the creator added next to the menu.
If controls feel “broken”
- You joined a copy. Check place ID.
- A script stole input. Close the executor — script safety.
- An event remapped the HUD (error.you_cant style sliders in the ARG). Wait it out or rejoin a private server.
- You are in a dimension where tools are stripped. Look for an Alternate Console Block and
sv.exitonly if that block actually spawned — structures.
Controls are simple so the events can be complicated. Master TAB and Z, then go to how to survive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for The Broken Script on Roblox.
How do I turn off the black bars?
TAB → Settings. /removevhs is gone on the main Roblox place.
Is there a jump-sprint combo?
Shift is sprint. Jump is vanilla. Height is not always safe — Integrity phases can punish flying too high.
Why don't /tbs_config commands work?
Those are Minecraft or clone commands. This place uses TAB. See getting started.
Can I rebind keys?
Roblox client keybinds still apply. In-experience TAB/Z/Shift are defined by the game and may not appear in the Roblox escape menu.
