How would the comparison of two different positions for an anti-cheat work?

Currently I’m finishing the barebones of my game, and I’m getting to the difficult part for me at least
Anti-Cheats.

Currently I’m working on the first one, which is client-prediction running (although they aren’t really similar at all in concept)

Basically, I have two tables and for each character a table storing their location. Now what I am unsure of is wat should be compared once I set it up like this -

["Sprinting"] = function(Params)
		
		RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
			Prev.PlayerLocation = Params.Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
			
			task.delay(2.5,function()
				
				Curr.CurrentLocation = Params.Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
				
			end)
		end)
		
		coroutine.wrap(function()
			for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
				VFX:FireClient(plr, Params.Hold, "CombatVFX", "RunVFX", Params.Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
				
			end
		end)()
		
		
	end,

Between the two values, I don’t know if I should be comparing the values as a whole, or a specific part of them. Alongside with this, I’m not even sure if in concept this would properly work. Any assistance?

This doesn’t make any sense. Additionally, don’t waste any time making an anti cheat for a game thats presumably, if its barebones, not even playable yet.

you should compare their old x and z position to their new x and z position from like a second ago and if its like 30 studs and the players speed is 16 studs a second then probably they are cheating ALSO the reason we dont compare the y value is because if u jump of a cliffff ur y value will change a lot
so what u wanna do is make a local OldPosition = vector2.new(player.x,player.y) and then another one local New Position = NewPosition = vector2.new(player.x,player.y) then u wanna do
(NewPosition - OldPosition).Magnitude and if that value is greater than 16 “then they are cheating” sometimes theres error though so u wanna give a bit of leeway and make it like 20 or sumn

Barebones to me means playable? Also you need to further what you mean by this

So I can improve on the wording or whatnot.
