In-game Username Changer

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I didn’t put roblox’s standard thing, because I really need help with this important thing.

There’s a game on roblox which I will not say the name unless I speak with a roblox staff within discord / other private messaging stuff.

In that game, admins are allowed to change their username, and when I say that I mean it. Their actual username from the coreui gets changed and I saw that happen. Now, I don’t have proof since I came here to ask for someone to give me tips on how I could replicate it and make it for a private thing which will NOT be publicated or allowed for anyone to play it.

^^ If I get banned / muted because of this then roblox doesn’t care abt their platform and they are just making the community worse.

I don’t think there’s a way to replicate it, they are admins, they have the power, I don’t think normal players have that power, and it costs 1000 robux to change your user name, so that would just collapse that system.

It might also be Display Names.

#3

you dont understand, I want to replicate it in-studio and the admins aren’t roblox admins. they are only game admins and + of that i doubt roblox admins can do that in-games

#4

also you cant change display names either way

#5

Im not sure then, seems like a weird request, but im afraid I can’t help you.

#6

no worries, its probably abusing roblox’s tos but if they cant fix that either, atleast they should limit it so ’ admins ’ in the game can change their name

#7

They are using an Adonis command, I believe it’s called disguise.

Ill try it out rq! If it works then I owe you haha

#9

Theres no way to do it ! If you change it using Lua , it could break ToS

#10

ik dw haha, as I just use it for learning stuff I might not even use it in real games, neither admin stuff if its breaking the ToS; im just trying to learn on how to watch out for vulnerabilities for both roblox and other stuff

#11

sadly it only changes character;

#12

I’ll have to check Adonis later. But I’ve used the command before to prank some friends. So I know it exists.

#13

DisplayName is a property in the player data model.

#14

So you have changed the actual username, which shows in core-ui too? I dont need an answer but if you know it works then its possible haha

#15

Read Parallel + player.Name is read parallel too

#16

Might also use a custom playerlist for one, but you can’t change the username using Roblox’s servers. A username change requires a transaction, which is securely handled by the Roblox server itself with an auth cookie. Unless you have those, you can’t perform anything of that type using a… game

The game does not have any of these, its purely core-ui that shows the player name.

#18

they could have made a custom leadeboardgui with custom roblox-like leaderboard activate button, or if using the new coregui um like with chat you can hide the window without the toggle being disabled, they did that somehow, and for the exact styles of the leaderboard they just duplicated the roblox leaderboard while coregui show enabled in studio and pasted it in the screengui, and scripted it (i used the duplication trick to duplicate the roblox toobar to understand dimensions for my topbar module)

#19

I like your answer but you CANT modify the roblox core gui in any way, you can ofc copy it and use it but you cant do anything to the player’s coreui unless external cheats / roblox vulnerability
