It, it can crash anyone And everyone in the server

#143

Only on their side… not for other players.

It cant unless you have a remote event or a backdoor.

#145

Yes this is true and correct (30charactwr)

#146

This sounds like a exploit with simulation radius, I dont know if it’s patchable through lua as it’s more of a roblox issue

#147

Does prison life have remote events by any chance then? That is where I experienced the hacker lagging

#148

You can crash people by exploiting roblox bugs, servers were crashed a few months ago because a player spawned an empty player locally.

#149

I don’t know if it does. Ask the owner.

#150

An exploit will, and always will be a local script. If they spammed a bunch of Instance.new’s in the script, they are only lagging themselves. Other players with just not notice anything and have a great time lag free, while the exploiter is barely getting 1 frame per second.

#151

Exactly, that’s what happens to my server

#152

They can spawn many empty characters. I swear I am truth because I experienced it

#153

Its very hard to patch as scripts cant execute fast enough to detect the change, but if theres no autoexecuter you can detect when a “player1” is added in players and kick the localplayer if it’s added.

#154

I don’t know if this will help but maybe look into basepart:SetNetworkOwner()

#155

How do you do this if the player is empty. You can’t kick something with no humanoid?

#156

I just saw how synapse users can shutdown or bulk servers with using data

edit: it was patched

#157

When a new player object is added, i was able to detect it as it was named “player” or “player1” since its a fake player object

Keep in mind it doesn’t completely stop the shutdown of the server, but it stops people with autoexec and discourages it

#158

What if it’s told to be called something else than named player

#159

You could probably also check for an empty userid, as the fake player doesnt correspond to anything

#160

Yes that would probably work. Can’t you also kick people more than 3 join with in a very short period of time ex. 1.5 seconds

#161

That would cause an inconvenience when shifts happen because usually a lot of people join at the same time for them.
