Hello everyone,
so I need to get the total amount of GUIs in CoreGui for a normal instance, as far as I know roblox deletes and creates GUIs instead of making them invisible and that makes my program unstable causing it to kick innocent clients for no reason.
tl;dr is there a way to get the maximum amount of CoreGui object that you can have at once in a normal roblox instance?
(it doesn’t has to be a LocalScript, feel free to use roblox studio to retrieve a value)
The maximum number of objects in the CoreGui aren’t guaranteed (Roblox could just… update the CoreGui and make your game kick everyone) and can’t be found. You shouldn’t be relying on this unsafe and frankly terrible idea of finding exploiters because of the high chance of false-positives.
Why do you even need this? Mmm
I can’t provide any info about this but the thing is that I just need it.
You will never know; When a new player joins; a new label is created,
When a new setting is implemented, a new system even a whole new level of gui’s are defined.
Players changing their character emotes, players opining new pages in the core gui.
Each new output to the dev console, is a new element… And well thats impossible to know the number off, because of core script errors; and so on more.
In other words, there isn’t a defined amount. And there will probably never be
is there atleast track it in-game with a LocalScript? like whenever a new element is added the game simply increases the value and whenever the element is removed it decreases the value.
We can track it; But use it for any type of info and you’re most likely going to get inaccurate data.
how can we track it and im not gonna use it for now, i’ll see if I can improve it any so that it returns accurate data.
he is making a anti-cheat obviously
Using events such as .ItemChanged, .DescendantAdded
Check all objects to see if their locked. It’s a messy process.
edit: the solution were infront of my eyes all the time, just had to remember that preloadAsync did not have any security level checks
original post: How do you detect dark dex? - #488 by tr1stt4n
local count = 0
game:GetService("ContentProvider"):preloadAsync({game.CoreGui}, function(assetid, status)
count = count + 1
end)
then it’s a very bad anti exploit
thats kinda rude doe.
never intendee it to be rude. just stating my opinion.
im not the one whoose making the anticheat here, this post were requested by a friend. if I were making an anticheat I would mostly prefer serverside checks.
Yeah lol. That Tr1stt4n guy pretty much leaked a few client methods to detect stuff; Annoyed quite a few people.
Overall just pretty depressing when people leak resources.
yep, but suprisingly it seems like roblox isn’t going to patch preloadAsync.
Agreed, however I feel like the exploit developers will do that instead.
You can’t.
Roblox uses Roact, which updates the amount of instances dynamically. Additionally, as other people have pointed out, an update could make this value incorrect.
Besides, if you’re trying to make an anti-cheat the real solution is securing your game on the server.
they will, that’s the ecosystem, an exploit occurs, you patch it and they unpatch it.
