This is all just elegant wording to try and trick you into giving money. Lua is a coding language not a script and it’s single-threaded, there’s no concept of “breaking up” or “anchoring” or any of this other nonsense. In short: it’s all gibberish. It’s a lot more dangerous to employers unfamiliar with programming because they’ll be trapped into believing this person knows what they’re about.
Affects nothing. Don’t throw your money on unexplained, unsubstantiated things. Good on you for asking. Games are more performant and “healthier” by employing proper coding practices, not by using a magical nonexistent tool.
I’ve never heard of an “OBI” or a “TSI”. No clue what these are, I can assume others agree. Another big red flag is anchoring scripts to cause no lag. No such thing.
If people are talking nonsence in business and something seems sketchy like OBI, then its best to find someone else.
They probably just looked up “computer terms” and stumbled upon these articles. If the other responses haven’t convinced you yet, don’t buy from this person. They’re scamming you.
Neither of these are real terms—they are made up in order to try to trick you. This person you have hired is a scammer; I recommend that you do not give them the Robux they are asking for.
I have a feeling that it’s a scam. Scripts are not anchorable.
I have never heard of “Ontask Bot Intelligence” or “Tech Integrated System”. But they sound like made up terms.
The other red flag is when he mentioned that the “OBI” causes no lag. Lag caused by scripts depends on how you code them, where you place them, and how you use them. Their performance is not controlled by external factors.
Ask him to explain further by providing sources for his claims perhaps an article like what @7z99 has shown for the technical details he is talking about, (make sure the links are safe though)
If he provides no sources and facts and cannot backup his claim any further then you know what to do.
Quick google search leads to nothing. He is trying to scam you. Even if so, I have never heard these terms used ever in roblox gamedev, and he is trying to seem smarter than he actually is. Even if those were real things, you cant anchor scripts.
I think they are just making up acronyms just to trick you. I have never heard of these acronyms and I have done a lot of anti-exploit work for my own games.
Don’t give him the robux and also if you can fire him on the spot for an attempted scam.
You don’t need any artificial intelligence for creating anti exploits either. I think it’s important to provide some transparency to clients so they at least know what they’re getting themselves into and what they’re implementing into the game. You’re being scammed as I and multiple people have said before. You should probably just decline their “services” as they’re just trying to use advanced terms to make themselves look professional. The fact that nothing relevant comes up (aside from OBI which is only very vaguely related bc of online buying) should provide substantial evidence to veer you away from this guy.
