Posting on here as I didn’t know where else to, I’m currently in a discussion with someone about viruses in roblox as he is saying that if you have a virus in a MODEL that it will infect other models on your edit/game but that dosen’t work in my viewing of things? Because a script is run on the game and not the edit so how is it gonna spread on the edit? Please tell me if he is the one who is right or me thank you!
(And also just to make it more clear for me this can happen with a plugin right?)
Viruses in models can’t spread in studio. Malicious plugins however can ruin a lot of things, however unless you give specific permission, a plug-in can’t create a backdoor anymore.
It used to be a common practice among new developers to develop the game while it was running, and any viruses in models would then spread and get saved after spreading. That doesn’t work anymore.
Viruses copying themselves is old as well and only serves to annoy. Nowadays, a malicious script can do a lot of harm and have become more than just a funny prank that spreads around between free models.
