    end
    
    if method == "FireServer" then
        print("FireServer called on:", self)
    end
    
    return oldNamecall(self, ...)
end))

oldNamecall = hookmetamethod(game, "__namecall", newcclosure(function(self, ...)
    local method = getnamecallmethod()
    
    if table.find(blockedMethods, method) then
