Hi, I have a small but confusing problem.
My game has a leaderstat which is “Time Alive”. It is how many minutes you’ve been alive. It resets when the player dies and also resets if they leave the game while they are in combat. It is saved when they return to the menu or when they exit the game while not in combat. Returning to the menu triggers a countdown on the server which is severed if the player moves or is hit by an attack, so there is no way to exploit it to save their values at will. Aside from these details, everything is handled by the server and there is no backdoor that would allow them to alter or save leaderstats at will. Characters use humanoids.
I have a few players who are exploiting to keep their Time Alive from never resetting, and they also somehow have Time Alive values of over 1,000 minutes. This is theoretically possible with absolutely insane roblox children but I’ve had players tell me that these players in question have died but their leaderboards do not reset. I also know these players are capable of exploiting and have in the past, but I’m trying to figure out how and am using them as guinea pigs until then.
How could they be doing this? Is there some obvious exploit to leaderstats and humanoid death that I’m overlooking?
