"Lock all" button for studio

[Xelia4 (Xel)]

Studio currently has an Unlock All button, next to which is a Lock Tool button to use the locking tool.

I’d like to add a “Lock All” button aswell, here is my reasoning:

A lot of exploiting tools recently allow people to spawn and give hopperbin build-tools to move, delete and copy parts, Locking all parts in a game is a simple way to start preventing that.

It’s not exactly an “Anti-Exploit” thing, but I want to easily be able to lock and unlock my place in studio, i’d much prefer my place’s parts locked if it keeps the dumb hackers from doing anything.

The best solution is drumroll to use filtering. Adding a feature explicitly for non-filtering games seems regressive.

If you just want a quick fix, run this in the command bar.

local function r(p)
	for _, v in pairs(p:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA'BasePart' then
			v.Locked = true
		end
		r(v)
	end
end
r(workspace)

Switching to FE will mean that you won’t have to worry about stuff like this in the future.

Probably relevant, but not a good practice for quality development where you lock parts to filter the ones that shouldn’t be moved by accident.

Here’s a script though:

local function Scan(ch)
  for _, obj in pairs(ch:GetChildren()) do
    Scan(obj)
    if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
      obj.Locked = true
    end
  end
end
Scan(game.Workspace)

…Aaaand others beat me to it

Running this code when a game session launches would be a cleaner solution than locking everything in studio.

Well, I want a lock all button so I can re-lock every part after unlocking them to move them around.

This is the first thing I made with plugins when plugins were first introduced. I still use it all the time, it would be nice to have it as a studio feature seeing that we already have the unlock-all button.

I’m not saying that this would be a good or intentional alternative for filtering and preventing exploits, this is just why I use it.

And regardless, if there is a button that says “unlock all” there should be one of the opposite, right?
