I would use a system similar to what Stefan has posted. I think you're confused about what I mean involving clientside being unsafe...

I realize a lot of scripts need to be clientside. But those scripts are not going to affect other players. Sure, someone could use a memory editing program to change their GUI display, or change some signs and stuff, but they should not be able to change important variables like weapon damage and health and stuff. That's all I'm saying. Obviously you can't script EVERYTHING serverside. Only the stuff that is important.

In fact, if you come across a situation where something NEEDS to be serverside and you can't figure out how to make it serverside, you should STILL figure out how to do it serverside, because resorting to clientside is not an option if you care about your server.

But by all means, you can script it all clientside and then deal with hackers ruining your server in a matter of days.
