This paper explores the architecture of "universal" aimbots on the Roblox platform. We analyze how developers utilize the Luau programming language and the Task Scheduler to automate player aiming across diverse 3D environments. The study further discusses the evolution from basic camera-locking to advanced "Silent Aim" and the subsequent impact on game integrity.
