Stamina System server side or client side?

#1

I have tried to research to see which one is better, but I couldn’t find a proper answer

I am trying to make a stamina system for using skills and sprint, so I wonder which side is better for it ? Server-Side or Client-Side

I will really appreciate it if you can also explain the reason

always server sided, much safer as hackers cannot set their stamina to full

Client side with server side checks

I’d make it client sided, but before executing anything have the server run a check.
This is because UserInputService generally runs smoother and is easier to work with on the client.
However, cheaters can modify any code on the client, so running a server sided check before actually executing something is usually a lot safer.

Both are good ways, but it’s up to you.

Here’s the difference between them

Client-Side

Good side:

  • It’s useful and is what a lot of people use for their staminas.
  • Less network traffic as you access directly on the client(game.UserInputService)
  • No delay when you try to sprint

Bad side:

  • Hackers can change the stamina, since it’s on the client.

Server-side

Good side:

  • Hackers cannot change their stamina rate or even how much stamina left they have, since they can only do so in the client, not the server.

Bad side:

  • If there’s a sudden rise of ping, the stamina may delay of response. Also, it is a “hacky” way to get more stamina as you have more time to run than intended
  • Too many requests to actually detect if the player wants to sprint, especially via a RemoteEvent when you detect what key the player pressed which will cause network traffic and can risk of rise in everyone’s ping intensly(eg. from 30ms to 93000ms)

alr thanks, I guess I will go with client one

#7

I wonder how do I check it, like I need to send data to the server ?

You can probably check if the stamina’s value isn’t doing its job right(eg. stamina value changed from 18% to 100% immediately)
