Custom Trails not showing up to other players, how do I fix this?

So I made a "Custom Trails" Gamepass, everything works fine, but I have a problem, no one else sees the trails. Is this caused because the trail scripts are local scripts? If so how would I go about fixing this?

Here are the 3 scripts inside the gui.

Trail on script

local Button = script.Parent.Parent.textbtn
local Trail = game.ReplicatedStorage["Trail"]
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() 

local trail = false
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
        local CloneTrail = Trail:Clone() 
        CloneTrail.Parent = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

        if char:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso") then

            CloneTrail.Attachment0 = char.Head.FaceFrontAttachment

            CloneTrail.Attachment1 = char.UpperTorso.WaistRigAttachment 
    end

end)

Trail off script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local give = script.Parent

give.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    local char = player.Character
    char.HumanoidRootPart:ClearAllChildren()
end)

and the script for changing colors, transparency in-game.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

script.Parent.change.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local r = tonumber(script.Parent.r.Text)
    local g = tonumber(script.Parent.g.Text)
    local b = tonumber(script.Parent.b.Text)
    local t = tonumber(script.Parent.t.Text)

    local colored = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Trail
    colored.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.fromRGB(r, g, b))
    colored.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(t)
end)

They're all local scripts, if the problem is that, how can I "Convert" them into normal scripts or is it possible to do something so everyone can see the trails?

You will need to use remote events. Fire it from the client and let the server handle it Soban06 410 — 3y

When you don't have gamepass checks on serverside its easy work for exploiters sayer80 457 — 3y

To make the Trail Visible for other Players. You should better do it all on a ServerScript that checks if the player has the gamepass and then add the trail. If you have it on a localscript it will be only be visible to the player who owns it.

Np btw. dont forget to add checks for gamepass on serverside or its an easy bypass for exploiters, would appreciate when you accept my answer. sayer80 457 — 3y

It's still a possible solution that I've used in a Restaurant Game with 10k+ Members sayer80 457 — 3y
