Does FilteringEnabled do more harm than good?

SMU tried FilteringEnabled at their base in response to exploiters ruining trainings, however it makes the guns stop working (using SMG script) Then I tried it and it stopped teleporters from teleporting players Wow this sounds like an article topic I could type an essay about

It does no harm. Let me write a longer reply.

You should probably go and find out how FE works. It's not just a case of turning it on. A lot of scripts may need reworking.

FilteringEnabled "breaks" badly scripted stuff that shouldn't have worked in the first place. It separates, more or less, the client from the server. With FilteringEnabled you can actually increase your network performance and do optimizations for clients without affecting anyone else's client as well. Yes, you need to script properly for it to work with FilteringEnabled, and to keep it more secure you need proper server-side validation on remote input. Absolutely worth it. It's a standard - any clan not implementing it has bad tech, no discussion.

FilteringEnabled creates a server to client barrier, in order to allow it to function properly you need to make sure the SMGs, teleporters etc use a RemoteEvent/Function to create a gate between those two.

All you need to understand is the client & server model, really, to get FE. ROBLOX without filtering enabled: Client -> Server -> Other clients ROBLOX with filtering enabled: Client -> Server -> Other clients There is never a fundamental change to the client-server model, people have it mixed up in their head that ROBLOX is P2P without filtering - it's not - it's never been P2P.

Yes. Exactly. The SMG is badly scripted as of 2016 and should never be used by anyone.

Simple way to fix it, make global script, make it create a remoteevent, after it gets triggered it will damage a target player that will be requested by the client. Go to SMGs, remove the damaging part and replace it with a fire event to the server. DISCLAIMER: it won't visualise the raycasts, but it will work atleast.
