I understand how to use PrivateModules well enough. I've read the Wiki article on them and it always made me a bit uneasy.
There are two bits that it mentions under the security section, those bits being:
The most effective way to prevent this type of exploit is to place this line of code at the beginning of your ModuleScript:
script = nilThis will erase all references to the ModuleScript, preventing the exploiter from obtaining a reference to the ModuleScript. If your ModuleScript has children, you can do this:
local children = script:GetChildren() script = Instance.new("ModuleScript") for _, child in pairs(children) do child.Parent = script end
I get what they're meant to do, but I still feel like it's too hard to trust them. I have no way of testing these methods and I worry about my work being stolen. Do I just add the second one to the module as well? Does the first one go into the module and the other the requiring script? I mean, it seems like only one of them can work at a time since both of them change what the variable "script" is. I'm very confused.
Any tips or words of advice?
