Roblox Studio output bar not printing anything from local scripts, why?

Hi, So I'm unsure if this post counts on this website as It's about code, so let me know if it's unwelcome. Anyways, I have an issue with Roblox studio in general, The output bar is printing no errors or print statements from local scripts. It prints just fine from a Server script, as I've tested that. Here is the code I'm running, nothing is printing or giving me errors.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
print("Running")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print(hit)
    if hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") == true then
        print("bruh")
    end
end)

How can I fix this so I get output from a local script? Thanks!

I should mention that I am in collaborative editing, I'm the owner. This has happened to me before in solo editor games so I don't think that's the issue, but I figured I'd add that here.

Where is the local script placed in your game Befogs 113 — 3y

Starter Character Scripts pokemine1o9 44 — 3y

And one is in a Part, It's all Local Scripts by the way. pokemine1o9 44 — 3y

Why do you have script.Parent.Touched in Starter Character Scripts? Ascarson4 138 — 3y

That script is not in starter character scripts, it's in The part pokemine1o9 44 — 3y

Local scripts located in the workspace do not run. You gotta put it somewhere in the player.

Use ~= nil instead of == true

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
print("Running")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print(hit)
    if hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
        print("bruh")
    end
end)

The scrip is not an issue. The issue is that my scripts dont print errors or any print statements. pokemine1o9 44 — 3y

I'm not sure if this is the issue, but the local script with the .Touched event MUST be a descendant of the player. If the script with .Touched is inside the part then it wont work. I recommend putting this script inside of the player, and then referencing the part seperately.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
local part = workspace.(PART)
print("Running")
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print(hit)
    if hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") == true then
        print("bruh")
    end
end)
