The seven trolls

What each one does, what Amount and Duration mean, and the chat lines.

The row

Kill = {
    Enabled = true,
    OneProductId = 3707848824,
    AllProductId = 3707849001,
    Duration = 0,
    Amount = 0,
    Message = "",
    OneMessage = "%s killed %s",
    AllMessage = "%s killed everyone",
},

Field	Meaning
`Enabled`	`false` hides both buttons
`OneProductId`	The single-target product. `0` hides that button
`AllProductId`	The everyone product. `0` hides that button
`Duration`	How long a timed troll lasts, in seconds
`Amount`	The troll's strength. Means something different per troll
`Message`	Only Kick uses it, as the kick reason
`OneMessage`	The chat line. First `%s` is the buyer, second is the victim
`AllMessage`	The chat line. One `%s`, the buyer

The seven

Troll	Kind	`Duration`	`Amount`
`Kill`	Instant	Ignored	Ignored
`Slow`	Timed	15	0.35, a walk speed multiplier
`Freeze`	Timed	8	Ignored
`Fire`	Timed	8	15 damage per second
`Fling`	Instant	Ignored	180, upward force
`Explode`	Instant	Ignored	100 blast damage
`Kick`	Instant	Ignored	Ignored

Kill

Sets the victim's health to zero. Nothing to tune.

Slow

Multiplies the victim's current walk speed by Amount for Duration seconds, then puts it back.

It multiplies rather than sets, so a game with a non-standard walk speed is handled correctly, and a player who is already slowed by something of yours ends up slower still.

0.35 is a noticeable trudge. 0.7 is an annoyance. 0 is a freeze by another name.

Freeze

Sets walk speed, jump power and jump height to zero, attaches the freeze effect, and restores all three afterwards.

The three original values are captured at the moment of freezing and restored exactly, so a game with custom jump settings is not quietly reset to Roblox defaults.

Fire

Attaches the fire effect and deals Amount damage every second for Duration seconds.

Duration = 8,
Amount = 15,

That is 120 damage in total, which kills a default hundred-health character with time to spare. Lower Amount to 10 for a survivable burn, or shorten Duration.

The damage loop stops when the victim dies, so a corpse does not keep taking hits.

Fling

Throws the victim straight up at Amount force with a matching spin, holds them in a ragdoll for a moment, then hands control back.

180 is a good arc. 400 is a launch. Very high values on a small map put players through the ceiling.

Fling's Amount also drives Explode

Explode launches its victim using Fling's Amount, not its own. Raising Fling throws explosion victims further too.

That is worth remembering when you tune Fling for feel and wonder why explosions changed.

Explode

Emits the explosion effect at the victim, then deals Amount blast damage.

Outcome	What happens
They survive	They are flung, using Fling's `Amount`
They die	Their body parts scatter

Amount = 100 kills a default character outright, so the scatter is what players will normally see. Lower it to 40 and the flinging becomes the main effect.

Kick

Removes the player from the game with Message as the reason:

Message = "You were trolled.",

That text is the only thing the kicked player sees, so make it clear enough that they do not think they were banned. Something like You were trolled, come back reads better than a bare full stop.

Kick everyone empties your server

The All button on Kick removes every non-immune player at once, including the people who were happily playing.

It is the single most disruptive product in the system. Consider leaving AllProductId at 0 for Kick, or pricing it high enough that it is rare.

Restarting a timed troll

Applying a timed troll to somebody who already has it cancels the first and starts fresh, so the duration restarts rather than stacking. The original values are restored from the first application, not from the slowed or frozen state.

A player who leaves has every active effect cleaned up.

Chat lines

OneMessage = "%s killed %s",
AllMessage = "%s killed everyone",

Display names are substituted, not usernames. Set either to "" to keep that one troll quiet while the rest still announce.

A malformed format string is caught and the line is skipped rather than erroring, so a mistake here costs you an announcement rather than a troll.

Announcements

Announce = {
    Enabled = true,
    Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 170, 0),
    OnCooldown = "Wait %d seconds before using another All troll",
    TargetGone = "They left, so your troll is saved for the next target",
},

Field	Seen by
`Enabled`	Master switch for every line, public and private
`Color`	The colour of the line in chat
`OnCooldown`	Only the player who pressed too soon
`TargetGone`	Only the buyer whose target left

Enabled = false silences everything. The trolls still happen; nobody is told about them.

Silence is a design choice

Announcing every troll makes the system feel alive and encourages more purchases. Silencing it makes trolls feel like acts of nature and keeps your chat readable.

Both work. What does not work is announcing only some trolls, because players notice the gap and assume the others failed.

The effect assets

Three parts in Assets/Shared, cloned onto the victim:

Name	Used by
`FreezeEffect`	Freeze
`FireEffect`	Fire
`ExplodeEffect`	Explode

Timed effects are welded to the victim's root part and cleaned up when the troll ends. The explosion effect emits its particles once and removes itself after three seconds.

Replace them with your own parts under the same names. A missing asset means no visual and the troll still lands.
