Should I Worry about Cheaters in my game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basicly I’m Developing a football game, I made it so that when a player touch a ball, the ball get attached to the player, But I noticed some Delay and a lot of bugs and ball physics lagging especially when a player is lagging

since the Ball Script is inside the ball and each player can spawn a ball, just imagine the lag with 20 balls in workspace with a touch script event inside of each ball…

so what im thinking about is making the ball weld client side and send data to the server using remotes, this way the gameplay is smooth, less stress on the server, but there is something that is stopping me from doing that : Cheaters

they can easily Send False messages to the remotes and start cheating and ruin experience for others in matches

now what should i do to make a smooth gameplay and make it hard for cheaters to cheat? I don’t have experience at making an Anti Exploit since i’m new to scripting in Lua

Well Yes, you shoudl worry about cheaters in your game, Now not evry one would be cheater only 0.1% or less than that but sometimes they can also do major damage to the game.

so just to prevent any thing try to secure your game!

yes exploiters can manipulate the remotes, but you shouldn’t worry that much since byfron released in roblox

even when byfron is now in roblox, you should still use an anti cheat but it won’t be that complicated anymore because byfron does the rest.

Well the script is used so when a player get tackled , the ball script remove the ball weld from the player that got tackled and weld it to the other player, and also used to detect if the ball is welded or not

So I should trust byfron now or make an anticheat? I’m worried about false positives that can happen

That can be done by a server script just as easy.

My point is that Hyperion isn’t working to prevent ALL exploiters. Some still persist after it has been bypassed.
