How to use control server objects with localscripts?

Asked by

So I am working on a game that uses localscripts to detect the player pressing a button while on a seat and it works perfectly for the client. The way it works is when you sit on the seat and press l, the lights for the car turn on/off. The issue is that localscripts only control things for the local client. So no other players can see the lights when they are on. How can I fix this? I have heard things about "triggers" and I have no idea what they are or how to use them. Heres my code, How can I adapt it to make the server change the parts? This script is located in StarterGUI and is disabled until the player sits on the correct seat. It is disabled again when the player gets up.

view source
01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
03local speed = 25
04local toggle = 0
05FunctionParts = workspace.PickUpTruck.Vehicle.FunctionParts
06 
07userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) -- Toggle lights on/off
08    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.L then
09        if toggle == 0 then
10            toggle = 1
11            FunctionParts.Light1.Material = "Neon"
12            FunctionParts.Light1.SpotLight.Enabled = true
13            FunctionParts.Light2.Material = "Neon"
14            FunctionParts.Light2.SpotLight.Enabled = true
15            FunctionParts.Light3.Material = "Neon"

You can use Remote Event for that, look it up on Youtube Nguyenlegiahung 1091 — 4y

You could have a remote event. Go in your explorer find ReplicatedStorage and add a RemoteFunction. Then make a new script inside ServerScriptService:

view source
01local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02FunctionParts = workspace.PickUpTruck.Vehicle.FunctionParts
03replicatedStorage.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player, toggle)
04    if toggle == 0 then
05        toggle= 1
06        FunctionParts.Light1.Material = "Neon"
07                FunctionParts.Light1.SpotLight.Enabled = true
08            FunctionParts.Light2.Material = "Neon"
09            FunctionParts.Light2.SpotLight.Enabled = true
10            FunctionParts.Light3.Material = "Neon"
11            FunctionParts.Light3.SpotLight.Enabled = true
12            FunctionParts.Light4.Material = "Neon"
13            FunctionParts.Light4.SpotLight.Enabled = true
14       elseif toggle == 1 then
15                toggle= 0

And then in your current script you should have :

view source
01local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
03local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
04local speed = 25
05local toggle = 0
06FunctionParts = workspace.PickUpTruck.Vehicle.FunctionParts
07userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) -- Toggle lights on/off
08        if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.L then
09        toggle=replicatedStorage.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(toggle)
10        print(toggle)
11        end
12 
13end)

Im not an expert.. I hope you can understand it :) heres a guide on remote functions guide hope this helps!
