Have you used any free models in your game?
If yes search for any scripts inside, and if found, look out for anything suspicious.

If the code is obfuscated, it is most likely a virus and you should delete the script.

Hope I helped!

yes I informed them that free models are a very risky route especially when it comes to game developing but they still went ahead and decided to use free models so now we have to deal with this if you dont mind me asking how would i go about searching for any scripts inside to find this mole of a script ty for ur quick response

Your welcome!

In the explorer, you need to have the beta feature “Advanced Explorer Filtering” enabled, just search for every object that is a Script, LocalScript, or ModuleScript.

By the way, if you don’t understand a script put in a free model, just copy paste it here!

EDIT: While searching for Scripts, ModuleScripts, or LocalScripts, you need to put classname=script or modulescript or localscript

try pressing ctrl+shift+F in your game and searching :IsStudio() in the search bar. Basically, :IsStudio() is a way that a virus can check if you’re in studio and make their script function differently in game and in studio.

Now, if you have a lot of scripts in your game, :IsStudio() might be found in more than 1 script. This doesn’t always mean it’s a virus, but it’s something which may be used by scripts even if they’re not a virus.

If something pops up in the search for :IsStudio() then you should have a scripter on your team look at the script and make sure it’s not a virus

Hey there, you could paste scripts with :IsStudio() in a reply!

#8

Yes, follow the steps I gave in my last reply and look for any scripts with :IsStudio() in them.

this is the only script that comes up under isstudio – // FileName: SwallowGuestChat.lua
– // Written by: TheGamer101
– // Description: Stop Guests from chatting and give them a message telling them to sign up.
– // Guests are generally not allowed to chat, so please do not remove this.

local util = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Util”))
local RunService = game:GetService(“RunService”)

local ChatLocalization = nil
pcall(function() ChatLocalization = require(game:GetService(“Chat”).ClientChatModules.ChatLocalization) end)
if ChatLocalization == nil then ChatLocalization = {} function ChatLocalization:Get(key,default) return default end end

function ProcessMessage(message, ChatWindow, ChatSettings)
local LocalPlayer = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer
if LocalPlayer and LocalPlayer.UserId < 0 and not RunService:IsStudio() then

	local channelObj = ChatWindow:GetCurrentChannel()
	if channelObj then
		util:SendSystemMessageToSelf(
			ChatLocalization:Get("GameChat_SwallowGuestChat_Message","Create a free account to get access to chat permissions!"), 
			channelObj, 
			{}
		)
	end

	return true
end
return false

end

return {
[util.KEY_COMMAND_PROCESSOR_TYPE] = util.COMPLETED_MESSAGE_PROCESSOR,
[util.KEY_PROCESSOR_FUNCTION] = ProcessMessage
}

Ok so the purpose of that script sounds like it stops guests from chatting, which #1 guests have been removed from the game for many, many years now and #2, guests could never chat even when they were a thing.

That script is more than likely your issue, I would try removing it if I were you

Do you know what free models they used and how many?

#13

I think you should also check what is going on in the other script in the model

#14

yeah ik what would you advise we do start over or is there a way of locating the mole without going through each and all models what do you reckon

#17

i meant like the model that contained the script that had the InStudio(), try deleting it and seeing what happens

I would make a copy of the place and one by one delete the models and see which one fixes the problem

#19

#20
