How should effects be done/handled?

[Konechou]

If I’m going to make visual effects on a character, do I use remoteEvents to fire server then fire all clients? If you are going to use remoteEvents this way, how would you combat exploiters that could possibly spam the remoteEvents? Even if I do add some conditions, what if an exploiter meets the conditions and decides to spam the remoteEvent which creates more effects essentially lagging the server.

Note that this all randomly made up with my thoughts and I haven’t started making the script but if there’s something wrong with what I said then please point it out or share some advice on how I should do the effects, I’d be happy to hear it.

Just make it so that they can’t spam it using techniques like the table debounce technique, or otherwise like using tick() to measure between remote event intervals.

Is there a way to make a localized debounce on a server sided script?

Yep the table debounce technique. Here is how it looks in code form. local debounceTable = {} part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) if player and not debounceTable[player] then debounceTable[player] = player --make the if statement false wait(5) debounceTable[player] = nil end end)

This one uses tick()

Rate limiter module for Remotes

Hello there! Exploiters often try to spam your remotes to see if they exceed the limit the server can handle and causing it to crash. In general, it is good practice to limit the rate of your remotes to prevent that behavior. This module should make this process very easy for you. What it does: This module I made allows you to easily set a maximum request rate for your RemoteEvents or RemoteFunctions. With this module, you can simply ignore requests if your set maximum rate is exceeded by the…
