You can do this with runtime compilation but please note here:

Don't blindly execute code from third party sources at runtime. This is a massive security risk. So if you have a game and want to offer modding: Make sure to add a ton of security measures.

That being said, check out the following Link which contains a small code example:

As you are not the first one to add modding to your game there are others who have already done this for you. Just check how others do this. Do not try to unnecessarily reinvent the wheel unless it is for educational purposes because you yourself want to learn how to do it and enjoy the process of searching for a solution.
