Animation replicate client side

[valid belfry]

So ive heard client side animation replicates it to server/all clients? Doesnt that make it accessible for exploiters to do their own animation which would get replicated to all clients? Im not too sure on how this works.

yes

wait so how do devs protect this?

generally don't bother. is this an issue for you?

the server can listen for these so you can filter with a whitelist, but you'd have to make sure to have every animation in the game including roblox animations and player emotes and such, so it's not exactly trivial to do properly. usually not worth it, exploiters are a roblox problem

so you should only really care about protecting things that are important like savedata

i kinda searched on it a little afterwards, and people said roblox games only allow your own animations to be played on the game. Theyve also patched some rig attach exploit. So im prolly not gonna bother with it.

exploiters are able to play their own animations yes
