Can you access the Output from a script?

Hello!
So I wanted to know if it was possible in Roblox to access the Output from a script.

I wanna do something like this:

if Output:Find("PluginStuffInOutput") then DeleteIt()

I wanna make a system so it automatically deletes the message in the output.

Check this out.You can use the MessageOut event to find out if a message has been sent.Mark as the solution if it helped pls

Sample code from devhub

local msg = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
Game:GetService("LogService").MessageOut:Connect(function(Message, Type)
    msg.Text = "The message was "..Message.." and the type was "..tostring(Type)
end)
 
print("Hello, World!")

Pretty sure that is you cannot do it in luau. Also GetLogHistory and LogService in general is pretty unreliable, and the API may change at any time. I suggest you don’t use logging as a actual game feature. If your game is based on logging, then something is wrong with your game.

Well, that is pretty much all I could find

Why would you even need to use LogService (if it isnt for a anti exploit)?

I never said that you could? Also on server scripts it will show the server logs and on client the client logs.

that is what im talking about LogService.MessageOut will fire no matter which side had made that output for example

-- Server
local LogService = game:GetService("LogService")
LogService.MessageOut:Connect(function(message)
    print(message) -- will print client outputs too
end)

-- Client
print("something")

this cant be used for anti-exploit i mean

Did you try it in a real server? It doesn’t work for me when playing in a real server. Also even if it works you wont know what client did it and you wont be able to kick him (Unless its a 1 player server)

i have tested that in studio but this still shouldnt be used because if any of your game scripts will output something it will fire the event
