I’m trying to think of ways to counter cheating through custom mods as I’ve seen used in other games I’ve played. Like changing wall textures to be transparent or invisible (easy; just don’t allow them to be modded) or player models with huge axis lines extending from them, so they clip through walls (where my question stems from).

I know I can check for custom model files being used and allow or deny connections, but if I still want players to be able to have custom shit, the next best solution I thought it was making it so a custom model still has to fit within a certain boundary of size, eliminating the huge axis lines and other fuckery cheaters might try. Is that even possible, though? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything actually do it.

I guess this would pertain mostly to the engine so let’s just say UE5 or Unity since those are most likely what I would use.

    I’m not a developer, but maybe you could enforce just one collision model, like normal human shaped. And have a separate visible model that can be modded.
