Detect if a ModuleScript was 'required' from a Client or Server?
I'm making an Anti-Exploit, but I'm wondering is there anyway that this is possible
From Server:
M = require "ModuleScript"
M.output("hi")
Console Output: hi
From Client
M = require "ModuleScript"'
M.output("hi")
Console Output: XX:XX:XX.XXX script:2 ModuleScript can only be called in a Server side script
Anyone help?

Run an if statement before requiring the ModuleScript to check if the parent is in a client based service. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y

@PyccknnXakep That is not what he wants. He wants an anti exploit to detect if a exploit or the localscript fired the module script. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

What you could do, is send a little random password as a parameter for your module script, and if the password is incorrect, the module script could just not run the stuff. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

If you're going to prevent the client from running the module, just leave the script in server storage, so the client can't access it. LifeInDevelopment 364 — 6y

A simple way to do this would be to check if the LocalPlayer exists or not.
You can only access the LocalPlayer on the client
The module would look like this:
local module = {}; --Define module table
module.output = function(blah) --Define a new 'print' function
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
if p then --Check if LocalPlayer exists
--If it does exist, the module was called on the client
warn("ModuleScript can only be called in a Server side script");
else --If not, the module was called on the server
print(blah);
end
end
return module;
You could also do this by checking if ServerStorage exists, since it can only be accessed on the server..
