How can I freeze other players and not myself?

This should be something very basic, but even with the condition I passed in my if statement, my character still gets frozen. My stand doesnt freeze though with the condition I pass. How can I freeze other players and not myself.

local partsInWorkspace = workspace:GetDescendants()

	for i = 1, #partsInWorkspace do
		local thatPart = partsInWorkspace[i]

			if thatPart:IsA('BasePart') then
				if thatPart.Anchored == false and thatPart.Parent.Name ~= "Star Platinum" and thatPart.Parent.Parent.Name ~= Player.Name then
						thatPart.Anchored = true
						table.insert(plrTbl, thatPart)
				end
			end
		end

		task.wait(5)


		for i = 1, #plrTbl do
			plrTbl[i].Anchored = false
		end
		table.clear(plrTbl)

You can do it by looping through all the players and freezing them but yourself like so

for i, oPlayer in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
	if oPlayer.Name ~= player.Name and oPlayer.Character then
		for _, v in pairs(oPlayer.Character:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") then
				v.Anchored = true
			end
		end
	end
end

You can manually set your parts anchored to false with a for i,v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) function.

I believe setting the humanoid’s (well, this is assuming that you’re using the roblox characters) walk speed to 0 would be a better practice in this case.

EDIT: Jump power as well, if you need the players to not move at all

#5

Exploiters can bypass the freeze by changing their walkspeed back to normal or teleporting, I think anchoring player character would be better.

#6

Can they really do that, if you change their walkspeed on the server?

EDIT: By that logic, can’t they unanchor their character as well, then?

#7

they won’t be able to unanchor their character if it’s anchored on the server sided. but they can change their WalkSpeed

#8

Weird, how and why does that work that way?

#9

I don’t really know but it just works

#10

Are you sure that there weren’t any remotes changing players’ walkspeeds, in the games that you’ve seen this done?

#11

nope, i tried using roblox studio command bar and it works
