Hey guys, I seem to have hit a bit of a wall here, wondering if you guys know some functions I don't. So, I'm working on figuring out AdService. ROBLOX suggests you tell players that they're about to be shown an ad before you call ShowVideoAd(), but in order to do that you have to know whether they're even able to be shown an ad so you don't advise someone they're about to be shown an ad and then it never happens. In order to do that, you have to be able to tell that they're on a tablet or phone, that they're not a guest, that they're not BC, and that they're over 13. As far as I can tell, I can ascertain all of that information via a script, except for telling if the player is over 13 or not. Anyone know of a way to do that? Thanks.

Fairly certain that AdService is pretty broken right now, so there's little point in using it. Which is a shame, really. -This is why the cat shouldn't sit on my keyboard.

I think there used to be player.SuperSafeChat But that was removed The only thing I can think of is to find a string that won't be filtered for 13+ but will be for 13- and use this http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Chat/FilterStringForPlayerAsync And compare the string it returns.

Are you referring to the fact that it has a tendency to make people crash?

"\97\115\115" You can use that string, its filtered for 13- and not 13+ I tested it.
