Why is client sided scripts that turn the blur on also being serversided?

Asked 296 views1 answers

So I was making a settings gui window, and it worked totally fine in roblox studio, but when I went to play with my dev team, we noticed something strange. The blur was serversided, which meaned that if I turned the blur all the way to 100 with the gui, it'll show it to other screens, then if somebody would've turned it up it would automatically convert to his amount of blur. Which made me ask myself is this a bug or not? Script:

add.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if script.Parent.BlockedFrame.Visible == false then
		sizeofblur = sizeofblur + 1
		game.Lighting.Blur.Size = sizeofblur
		script.Parent.SizeBlur.Text = sizeofblur
		if sizeofblur == 100 then
			add.Visible = false
		elseif  sizeofblur == 2 then
			Sub.Visible = true
		end
		
	end
end)

Sub.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if script.Parent.BlockedFrame.Visible == false then
		sizeofblur = sizeofblur - 1
		game.Lighting.Blur.Size = sizeofblur
		script.Parent.SizeBlur.Text = sizeofblur
		if sizeofblur == 1 then
			Sub.Visible = false
		elseif sizeofblur == 99 then
			add.Visible = true
		end
	end
	
end)

Is your game FilteringEnabled? LocalScripts are able to edit serverside instances when it is disabled. There are ways of getting around this, though.

Usually when someone uses a blur in a GUI, they create the blur within workspace.CurrentCamera. This insures that it is only blurring out the local player's screen.

Doing this would result in the following code:

add.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if not script.Parent.BlockedFrame.Visible then
		sizeofblur = sizeofblur + 1
		Blur = Instance.new("BlurEffect")
		Blur.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
		Blur.Size = sizeofblur
		script.Parent.SizeBlur.Text = sizeofblur
		if sizeofblur == 100 then
			add.Visible = false
		else
			Sub.Visible = true
		end
	end
end)

Sub.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if not script.Parent.BlockedFrame.Visible then
        sizeofblur = sizeofblur - 1
        Blur.Size = sizeofblur
        script.Parent.SizeBlur.Text = sizeofblur
        if sizeofblur == 1 then
            Sub.Visible = false
        elseif sizeofblur == 99 then
            add.Visible = true
        end
    end
end)

Hopefully this helps.

Okay, that seems quite promising. I'll accept the answer.
