How can exploiters break your game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a few main questions:

Can exploiters mess with anything I put in a starter player or a starter character, and if they can, where do i store values like currency?

Can they do something bad with stuff in a replicated storage? Cause I store literally everything in it.

That’s all I want to know, but if there is something important about this topic that you can tell I would be really thankful if you did.

Exploiters have full control over their clients. They can see and modify all the local scripts.
Because of that, never put anything important/main game stuff(like currency) on to the client.
The best place to put those stuff is on the server.

Can you give us a bit more information about “everything”? Do you mean events? If it is, then yes. Exploiters can watch the event stream to find something to take advantage of.

You can find more information about the server-client model here:

No. Client is basically the player that’s playing the game.
