Character Customization script only shows changes for the player?

Asked 274 views1 answers

So i made this MouseButton1Click (GUI) script.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local model = game.Workspace[Player.Name]

	local children = model:GetDescendants()
	for i , v in pairs(children) do 
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then 
			v.Color = Color3.new(0.235294, 0.898039, 1)
			game.Workspace[Player.name].Chest1.Eye.Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
			game.Workspace[Player.name].Chest1.FaceMask1.Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
			game.Workspace[Player.name].Chest1.FaceMask2.Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
		end
	end
end)

And it would change the character's color, but it would show up THE CHANGES for the player that clicked the button.

localscripts dont affect the server, they only change stuff on your screen. use a remote event connected to a server script

Think of the meaning of "local". A LocalScript runs in a domestic environment; the program is executed on your device through the ROBLOX Player Application, rather than on a Server.

Since roblox added FE, local scripts doesn't affect the server. What you need to do is create a remote event (You can place it inside the script) and then fire it on the MouseButtonClick1 function.

--LOCAL SCRIPT

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RemoteEvent = script.RemoteEvent -- Assuming you placed it inside the script
	 
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)

Okay, now you have triggered the Remote Event and you want the character changes to happen on the server, to do that you need to run the code in a script. You can put it wherever you want, but to keep things organized I would put it in the same Parent or inside the local script 

--SCRIPT

local RemoteEvent = script.Parent.RemoteEvent -- Assuming you placed the script inside the local script

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local model = player.Character

	for i, v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			v.Color = Color3.new(0.235294, 0.898039, 1)
			model.Chest1.Eye.Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
			model.Chest1.FaceMask1.Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
			model.Chest1.FaceMask2.Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
		end
	end
end)

If I have a typo I’m sorry, but that should give you an idea of how to use Remote Events

RemoteEvent's are better stored in ReplicatedStorage, as it is a shared space between the Client & Server.

Well, I believe I explained the steps on my answer... You need one local script, normal script and a remote event and just follow what i said :/
