You do gg.getFile() first

 

example of anti-rename code

FileName = 'ScriptName.lua'
Dir = gg.getFile():match('^.+/')
File = gg.getFile():match('[^/]+$')

if File ~= FileName then
gg.alert('File Rename Is Detected')
os.rename(''..File..'',''..Dir..'/'..FileName..'')
gg.alert('Renamed')
return
end

gg.alert('Your Code Here')
