Ok...

I'm trying to figure out a way to distinguish between a normal guest and a guest that can chat/exploit etc.

It looks to me like ROBLOX has removed/locked SuperSafeChat. Do you guys know of any other way to distinguish guests?

Check if the name is guest using string.sub.

@Mix

No, they meant how to distinguish between the guests that can exploit and ones that cant't.

Check or the Guest can Chat.
If he can --> He is a Exploiter.

How you may ask.
Get the SuperSafeChat Property and if the Name of the Guest is a Guest but he can talk --> Exploiter --> Ban / Kick / Remove

Velibor's way is the best way to do it, currently.

Where's the supersafechat? It used to be in the player but I'm not seeing it now.

Use ChatMode instead

It doesn't has a Doc current. But it works with Enums

You can still check that way or a Player has only the SafeChat or can Chat at his own .

@DangCool - As the ChatMode property is not documented, I'm not 100% sure it's locked. I'd test it if I could but I can't run ROBLOX Studio on this stupid 10 year old Vista running computer. :\

Oh, just thought of something. If ChatMode is locked, then there's another, more inefficient, method of achieving this.

Run the PlayerAdded event, and then run the Chatted event. Check if the player's name includes the string "Guest ". If it does, then remove them.

@ElecktricBlaze

I can access it with the Command bar.

Still I don't think it is locked .. Then should not remove things but replace them instead..

@Velibor - Scripts have a security level of 2, while the Command Bar has a security of 5. Therefore, you can run most (if not all) methods using the Command Bar, but Scripts are limited by many locked methods.

Yeah, that's what I was going to put in there where if chat occurs then it checks to see if it is a person with Guest in their name AND they're talking; however, thanks to you guys, I'm going to work on the chatmode because it's more efficient.

I'm thinking I might add some value to persistent data when they get nuked, so they can't get into any of my game servers.

I like guests, but I don't like the ones that mess with my game.

@playrobot - I'm not sure that nuke idea would fit. I believe that every time someone logs on as a guest, the number at the end of their username is different. So, they'd be a different guest every time.

The only drawback is that Roblox doesn't have a RemoveFromGame function. The exploiters can still easily use exploits even without their character. The current exploits just use gui plugins similar to CmdUtl.

Well, what I did in one of my game's, was search through all chatting a player's, and if the chatting player is a Guest then they get kicked. What I also did was created a table containing all the Safe-chat chat option's, this way they can chat with safe chat. It was a good method, but didn't always work because ROBLOX actually changes the Safe-chat so that people can't hack that. I hated that. :\

- Cheers!

Use playeradded to distinguish if the player is a guest or not then use the chatted event to see if the guest is an exploiter. You would probablly have to create a GUI warning the guests not to talk but thats pretty much all I can think of *Unless you want to create a table composed of all the messages found in menu chats ^.^*

All of this would not work. The actual admin is based off of a gui plugin. It doesn't matter if they are banned or not. All banning does is remove the player which doesn't delete the plugins. All you have prevented them from doing is moving.

Well if it is a guest that can exploit, and say whatever they want

use a table that lists the safe chat chat things, like

{"Hi","No","Yes"}

then if they say something that isn't on the list have it remove them or whatever you want to do with them. idk

sorry if i didnt make sence

@ text, no, it's making sense. I was just thinking I should check the type of chat (menu vs menu plus text) instead of having to scan through all acceptable chat phrases.

@echo....are you talking about the character being removed? Because I'm pretty sure if I remove the player they lose connection to the game.
