it is currently running when the player has a rank above 4 and the control panel is not open. Try moving the else to the 1st if instead of the 2nd

#3

My bad, I messed up this whole post. Please re-read it :slight_smile:

By the way, ControlPanelOpen is true

#4

Wouldn’t suggest putting your webhook in public.

Mind if you were to develop a bit more your issue?

#5

i hid the webhook

Anyway, the issue is that when I fire ClosedCleanUp it checks whether ControlPanelOpen is true, and if it is, it will make it false.

However, if ControlPanelOpen is already false, it will proceed with the exploiter protocol.

I am getting the exploit responce, not the expected one.

#6

Well, I don’t seem to be understanding well.

As long asControlPanelOpen is false, it will return without exception "Exploiter !"

#7

It seems to be pretty useless anti exploit? An exploiter can’t change a value if I’m understanding your situation well enough. They can change it, but whatever the value does, it would only do it on the client.

#8

Huh? I’m talking about why I get the exploit response when ControlPanelOpen is true.

Yeah, it may be useless, but it’s just there for security reasons. Just in case there was a way to change it with an event or whatever

#9

Is the value being set from a local script or a server script?

It should be set from a server script in order for the server to see it as ‘true’.

#10

It is set to true on the server.

#11

ControlPanelOpen is an instance I believe, try checking the Value property instead? (ControlPanelOpen.Value)

#12

I’m not sure why you’re even banning based on a person’s rank in a group in the first place. The simplest solution would simply be to remove it, since it only bans people with a rank in the group with a priority higher than 4, which is setup to ban you and other high ranked people.

Although to answer your question, other people have pointed out that ControlPanelOpen seems to be a BoolValue instance, in which case you should be indexing its Value property to check for equality with true.

#13

Omg i’m an idiot , thanks. next time i’ll check again

#14

It should be impossible to fire ClosedCleanUp without being a rank higher than 4. In conclusion, if it is fired by a person under the rank 4, they must be an exploiter.

#15

If thats the case then you should be doing this:

if rank >= 4 then -- I'm assuming you have to be rank 4 or higher
    doStuff()
else
    ban()
end

In your code snippet, a person is flagged as an exploiter if their rank is higher than 4 and doesn’t have their control panel open. I don’t know if you fixed this yet, but if you haven’t then you probably should.
