Giving control over part size to client via keybind, anti-exploit help?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

More specifically, if the player uses an fps unlocker, they can shrink the object I am letting them resize instantaneously. I would prefer this be completely client-sided, besides maybe some checks- since this is for a fighting game (and everything besides damage IS client-sided).

No code has been created, I just know from experience that they could resize it as they please.

I was thinking of creating and resizing the part on server, but that’s the very last resort. I’d hate to create an entirely new system for one skill.

Any suggestions?

i am not sure what this is about, but in my experience of coding, never ever trust the player, do server as much as you can, hacks are 99% coming from the client ruining the events info.

Your best bet is to do it on the server for 100% security.
Two methods you could do would be:

  • Check to see if the remote has been fired after the time limit set on the server
  • Create & resize it on the server

Sorry if that wasn’t what you wanted to hear though.

There may be errors, I’m writing this on the fly. But basically, this would be what’s happening on the client.

local resizeCon

local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Parent = workspace

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,Event)

if Input.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.Z and not Event then
resizeCon = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
Part.Size = Part.Size + Vector3.new(1,1,1)
end)
end

end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(Input,Event)

if Input.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.Z and not Event then
resizeCon:Disconnect()
end

end)

You should be using :Wait() for your second option.
