Securing a Platforming Game

Exploiters can exploit all things that are on the client, even things that were created on the server (ofc that assumes that the object is in a place the client can access, and this also wont effect the server as its only on the client.)

Overall I dont think its much worth trying to stop this, as they will find a way around it everytime you find a solution, so unless you’re like giving away something really valuable or exploiters would ruin everything, I wouldnt worry about it.

I’d still like to figure out ways to do so anyway just out of curiosity of how complex such detection can be.

@FroDev1002

That and exploiters could just teleport to the end of the game. So at that point Im not sure if its worth it for this kind of game

Roblox has a section on their cheating mitigation guide that talks about this. Is figuring out how far a player is from their last location really that bad?

@FroDev1002

now if you still really want to secure it as much as you can, some details might help, for instance why are you creating that part on the client? What is it going to be for? etc.

The image I posted is just a proof of concept. I’m not actually going to be creating anything using local scripts. I’m just concerned about the extent of what exploiters can do. In this case, can they create their own parts? Or, as you’ve mentioned, are they limited to manipulating the parts that I place in workspace?

If your exploit concerns can be detected from the server, then I would suggest using a server-side based anti-cheat system, similar to the one in my profile unless you want to create your own system.

I don’t think I can detect parts that don’t exist on the server. Right?
