My goal is to have a physical instance in the workspace (model, part, character) no longer be replicated to a specific client or a group of clients.
I have looked on the devloper hub and some said use client scripts to remove the local parts, the problem is that an exploiter could easily use Dex and or just delete the client script that removes them
As you can see, in the first half the part is being replicated like normal, but in the second half the part is no longer replicated to the client, but the server can still replicate to other clients that it wants to
If anyone finds a way to do this or knows a way how or even an alternative that works and prevents exploiting; please let me know
You can create a server script that communicates to the client via a remote event.
This method requires you to serialize your part/model.
Heres an example:
--serverscript
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local event = ReplicatedStorage.Event
local newInstance = { --serialize part
ClassName = "Part",
Name = "newPart",
Anchored = true,
Size = Vector3.new(23.5, 7.25, 41.625),
Position = Vector3.new(12.25, 7.25, 41.625)
--add extra properties
}
local playersWhoCanSee = {
3930774500,
0000000000, --add user ids
}
function makePartVisible()
for _, Player in pairs(PlayerService:GetPlayers()) do
if table.find(playersWhoCanSee, Player.UserId) ~= nil then
event:FireClient(Player, newInstance)
end
end
end
task.wait(10)
makePartVisible()
--locascript
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event")
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(instance: {})
local NewInstance =Instance.new(instance.ClassName)
instance["ClassName"] = nil
for property, value in pairs(instance) do
NewInstance[property] = value
end
NewInstance.Parent = game:GetService("Workspace")
end)
This is not what im asking, I’m saying if there is a way for me to stop replicating a part or a model to a certain client, after it has already replicated once
So if I place a part down in the workspace and it replicates to this mystery client, then is there a way on the server I can stop replicating the part to that certian client, but still replicate the part to other clients. What you sent is me is a client sided way to spawn a part for certain players, which is not what im asking
Your best bet is probably to use the method you already know (deleting from the client) since exploiters could spawn in part regardless of whether you safely remove it or not.
The way I want it is that I want to have a another player be streamed to the other client similar to how content Streaming does it, I’m trying to see if there is a way for me to forcefully StreamOut a part or a player then streamIn them whenever I want to
I dont think you can force in/out models unless you do like others have suggested and destroy and clone them via remote event communication. I suggest checking the content streaming documentation.
With the way persistent per player works right now I don’t see a way for it to stop continuing the streaming of another player model to another player.
The way it works is that it allows me to choose a model to continue streaming to certain players when they are outside of the streaming range, this means someone across the map would still exist for me if everything else was already streamed out. The problem is that if they are still in the streaming range I can’t just disable them and have them disappear like how they would if I removed the player from the table if they were far away.
