I want to detect if the player is hacking by checking their speed from the server

What you could do although it might be overkill is randomize the time when the data is sent. or you could even embed the code into one script and make it hard to read or somethn.

#9

All your effort spent trying to obfuscate a local anticheat script is gone to waste as soon as they disable your script.

#10

you could check form the server for getproperty changed signal of the script then kick

#11

If you’re trying to detect whether or not the script has been deleted or disabled, that change isn’t replicated to the server. You have no way of knowing if your local anticheat script is still functioning like you think it is.

#12

So if you were in my place what would you do in order to avoid these exploiters?

#13

Find the player’s position at a given time and compare it to their position after a few seconds. Kick them if the distance between both positions is too big.

#14

then use another script where the script looks normal but the script about 50000 lines later there will be a line where it fires a remote or a property change theb kick them the only possible but stupid way

Think Like Exploiters

#15

I am sorry but that is not efficient enough or not at all because they can change the speed to a good amount and move in batches in order to avoid that

#16

sometimes if player has massive lag them the server might think its teleporting so its not a good way

#17

At best, they could only move as fast as you want them to move, but whatever. Use whatever method you want.

What? No. He is saying the correct way to do it. Because of metatables, exploiters can make sure the client doesn’t see what the actual WalkSpeed is.

The only possible way for antiexploit is call the roblox staff or someone and ask them to improve roblox security as they say “kids game must have security” they do but only for chat but not account security or exploit security i just cant understand roblox

#20

Or… create an anti-exploit that’s not use the client at all…

#21

which is impossible…

#22

Not true. I made one a few months ago without even a year of coding experience.

It would be great if u could share it with us and it would also help to get the proper way

If they disable the script then server will not get any replies. If that happens kick the client simple. It’s not completely flawless but it will definitely take time to crack. Probably it might slow down the exploiter by about an hour.

If you make an intricate system with uses formulas and encryption use randomly timed FireAllClients and use multiple unreadable scripts the exploiter will have a hard time making an exploit. Nothing is ever perfect all you can do is slow them down.

v = x/t. x = the displacement (distance between both points) and t = time. WalkSpeed is the velocity that the player is moving at. Using this we can create a simple script that checks the velocity. If the velocity is higher than the WalkSpeed then we want to kick the player.

Example (sorry about the bad formatting) 
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local waitTime = .5
local maxSpeed = 18

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        local lastPosition = nil
    
        wait(3) -- delays so it doesn't spike at the beginning
        while wait(waitTime) do
            if not lastPosition and rootPart then
                lastPosition = rootPart.Position
            elseif lastPosition and rootPart and humanoid.Health > 0 then
               local position = rootPart.Position*Vector3.new(1, 0, 1)
               local magnitude = math.round((lastPosition - position).Magnitude/waitTime)
            
            print(magnitude)
            
            if magnitude > maxSpeed then
                player:Kick()
            end

            lastPosition = position
            end
        end
    end)
end)

Thanks for the help.
I can’t really get the math there though where you are rounding up the result of the subtraction of position from the last position and dividing by the wait time.
Can you take some time to explain it?
Thanks again.

#27

best way to do this is ditch the client. What you should do is have magnitude checks, and reset each position every time the player dies. If a player goes out of their limit, correct their position. This also acts as a anti-fling and teleportation script
