Hi I'm metr0idhunterx, creator and owner of Humans vs. Arthropods.
Today randomly, something odd has been occuring according to my players..
They are complaining whenever they become certain morphs (bombardier beetle, assassin bug, wheel bug, screamer) or when they grab certain weapons (pistol, flamethrower) the game shutsdown on them. These morphs/weapons were in my game/games for a LONG time.. and worked perfectly fine and even last night everything was working. I tested to see why this is and it isn't the morph... its the tools/weapons they use... I did shutdown the server thinking maybe they were hacked.. but that didn't work either. I then tested to see if those weapons worked in my other games and those shutdown the game for me too! I don't understand how the tools work for nearly 2 years striaght... and then next day shut down the game for players who pick them up....It so odd... I don't think its a script error either because like I said they worked perfectly fine for 2 years striaght no issues and all of a sudden they stop working. The flamethrower, pistol, and any nikeralite/arthropod that has a ranged attack (spray, spit, shoot plasma, snap etc) are all made in the same way with edited damage and distance and it looks like they all shutdown the game for players and even when I create a new place and tested them it did the same thing! It just doesn't make much sense! Any help/suggestions would help greatly, otherwise if there is nothing in particular to do about it I'll have to make new tools to replace... |

Have you tried testing all possible errors that happened? Such as a tiny scripting error that happened when you updated your game last or an exploit? |

Are the meshes made by ROBLOX or are they user-created? |
|
|
All meshes are roblox made since user meshes were disabled before I even joined...
I checked the output for any little scripting error, and the only thing that came up was "Touched is not a valid member of Workspace" in red... but again, everything worked fine until now. Its not hacked nor exploited because I inserted it into another place (I named the place "..." the tools are inserted and the place is active if anyone wants to see this for themselves).

I haven't updated the game for an entire month... and whats strange is this happened today and last night everything was working fine for everybody.. this is just something new happening... and roblox didn't update meanwhile since last night when it was working. |

Perhaps you need to check if all the scripts in the game are working properly. |
|

Indeed they are... However... I did delete this one script in the ... place called "RemScript" and it worked again! but when I deleted the RemScript in HvA 5 it still didn't work... there is probably a bug (not litteraly xD) that is causing the entire tool itself to crash and any little change I do to it makes it seem or look like its new and the crash stops... for a short time... maybe if I recreated everything like copying the scripts (re-writing them) and make everything brand new it will work again... |

Can you create a place that has a simple repro (ideally a baseplate with just this one tool) and post a link here? I'll try to figure out why - it's likely that the tool triggers a server-side crash which causes the game instance to shut down and disconnect everybody. |

do you ever use the tab key ... |
|
|
Sure I can, however another odd occurance happened.
I just tested it after creating the baseplate and it worked for some reason...
I'll still give the link to the baseplate which contains the tool, and I will also give the link to the model itself (as a free model) incase you would still like to check it out as whatever went on shouldn't have happened...

and heres the model incase you wanted to look through the scripts inserted into it.

no I don't use the "tab" key, and from what I know all it does is open up the leaderboard so you can see the stats, teams, and names more clearly. |

have you tried deleting them and putting them back? |
|
|
I tried deleting scripts 1 by 1 hoping that maybe its only one of the script causing it... i found out that the script titled "RemScript" did indeed cause shutdowns however when i removed all rem scripts the tool started crash again. Either way... the tool is now working fine... but i think we should still research what just happened so there are no future problems like these as well. |

I'm not using free models, if it was a free model there would be viruses which my anti-virus script would take care of. Its probably something not scripted right thus crashing the game... or how zuexcg explained it. |
