How can I check to see if the workspace is being edited?

Asked 413 views1 answers

I don't want people to be able to edit the workspace (By this I mean ingame, and by exploiters). How could I go about this?

Possible code:

previousWorkspace = {}
newWorkspace = {}

function checkWorkspace()
	for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(previousWorkspace, v.Name)
	end
end

function compare()
	for i,v in pairs(previousWorkspace) do
		for ii,vv in pairs(newWorkspace) do
			if v == vv then
				return true
			end
		end
	end
end

while true do
	if compare() then
		-- ?? What next ??
	else
		-- Extra Code
	end
end

Please help! I DO NOT WANT TO USE FE!!!

Just use FilteringEnabled and then any exploits they may make won't matter.

Click on Workspace and change the property of FilteringEnabled to True. Turning it on will stop over 90% of the hackers. (You might have to change some of the codes to work with FE restrictions)

No FE, please!

What's wrong with FE? Better learn how to use it first than to have to re-learn everything.

Well you could do this: 

previousWorkspace = {}
newWorkspace = {}

function checkWorkspace()
    for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
        table.insert(previousWorkspace, v.Name)
    end
end

game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(function() -- If something was added to the workspace
	for i,v in pairs(previousWorkspace) do
        for ii,vv in pairs(newWorkspace) do
            if v == vv then
                return true
	    else
		vv:Destroy() -- Would destroy anything new added
            end
        end
    end
end()

game.Workspace.ChildRemoved:connect(function() -- If something was removed from the workspace
	for i,v in pairs(previousWorkspace) do
        for ii,vv in pairs(newWorkspace) do
            if v == vv then
                return true
	    else
		local reAdd = v:Clone()
		-- then try to find the things last parent.
            end
        end
    end
end()

I mean this could be one way to go about it. This isn't the best way to go about this but, I do hope it kind of pointed you in the right direction.
