When you're uploading the template, lag your internet connection until the speed is akin to that of dial-up. It will take forever for the shirt to upload so the template ID will be like 200 to 400 digits away from the shirt ID.

Most people will simply give up when they're trying to copy it.

This could actually work.

On Roblox's end, the staff could set it that the template id is a randomly chosen id within 1,000 or so ids after the original






This isn't 2007

no i don't mean that roblox forces this as a thing

i meant that anyone could do this manually if they want to prevent people from copying their clothes (which they can do this right now)

yes

most clothes copiers just reverse the id until they can get the template id, but they will likely give up if it's over 200 digits away

Lag-switching is pretty easy these days.

Or, if ROBLOX actually cared to make copy protection, they could either make it so only the owner can access the template or encrypt it somehow. It's certainly possible as they did it with one of their shirts once, you couldn't access the template as it just gave you a 404 but it would still work ingame.

a way around this is to just download the shirt asset (not the template)

whats downloaded is a bunch of xml and you can get the template of the shirt from it

but not everyone knows this and it will take a bit longer to get the template so this might help

@kynes
if they're able to do that then i'm surprised

but most shirt copiers are not tech-savvy
