Trace documentationRoblox moderation & administrationTrace Replays: Review 3D Anticheat Evidence Footage
Trace records replay footage when detections fire. Review 3D replays with timeline controls, bookmarks, and automatic evidence-window slowdown.
Trace Replays give your staff a recorded 3D session to review whenever an anticheat detection fires. Instead of making moderation decisions based on a text log alone, you watch exactly what happened - with a timeline, bookmarks, and automatic slowdown right at the moment that matters.
What Gets Recorded
A replay is captured automatically each time one of Trace's anticheat checks flags a player. The recording covers the window of time surrounding the detection event so you always have context both before and after the flag. Replays are stored and accessible from:
- The Replays section of the admin panel
- The detection event itself - each detection links directly to its associated replay
Opening a Replay
Find the detection or replay
Navigate to Detections and click the replay icon on any detection event, or browse all recordings in the Replays section.
Wait for the loading screen
A full-screen opaque loading view appears while the replay data is fetched and the scene is reconstructed.
Review in the 3D viewer
The replay opens in a cinema-framed 3D viewer with playback controls along the bottom. The game world is reconstructed locally - other players in your session never see the replay actor.
Playback Controls
| Control | Function |
|---|---|
| Play / Pause | Start or pause playback |
| Timeline scrub | Click or drag anywhere on the timeline to jump to that moment |
| Position indicator | Shows your current position in the recording as a timestamp |
| Speed selector | Switch between playback speeds (0.25×, 0.5×, 1×, 2×) |
| Close | Exit the replay viewer and return to the admin panel |
Detection Marker
A red marker is placed on the timeline at the exact moment the anticheat detection was recorded. When you open a replay, you can immediately seek to this marker to jump straight to the flagged behavior without scrubbing through unrelated footage.
Auto-Slowdown
Trace automatically slows playback to 0.25× as it approaches the evidence window - the recorded period around the detection moment. This ensures you don't accidentally play through the most important part at full speed.
You can override the auto-slowdown at any time by selecting a different speed from the speed selector.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are personal markers you place on the timeline to flag moments you want to return to.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum bookmarks per replay | 16 |
| Toggle | Mark button during playback |
| Seek | Click any bookmark to jump to that position |
| Persistence | Stored across your 40 most recent replay IDs |
