I assume you have to use a local script but I'm lost. basically dumbed down I need to make a beam attach from the players uppertorso to a part in workspace, but it can only show for the player. how would I go about doing this? I can do it with a server script but the beam shows up for everyone

Solution You use the localPlayer's Character, but first wait until it is loaded in.
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
wait(1)
function CreateBeam()
--Creating Attachment
local Attachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
Attachment.Parent = workspace.Part
--Creating Beam
local Beam = Instance.new("Beam")
Beam.Parent = workspace
Beam.Attachment0 = Attachment
Beam.Attachment1 = Character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso"):FindFirstChild("BodyFrontAttachment")
Beam.Texture = "rbxassetid://5197916121"
end
CreateBeam()
end)

You use a remote event to trigger it, or inside of the script
Create the beam inside a local script You can use a remote event to use the server to tell the player when to create the beam

I'll look into it
Use a remote event and copy the beam code to the onclientevent
