My Script won't change the parents of another script?
function onClicked(playerWhoClicked) local eat = game.ReplicatedStorage.EatOptions:Clone() local pg = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui eat.Parent = pg end script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
I'm trying to move a local script from Replicated Storage when I click the brick, however I cant use LocalPlayer with it because this is a server script and I'm not sure what to do from this point onwards. Please Help.

Your problem is that you're trying to get the player instance through game.Players.LocalPlayer, which will not work through a server-script.
So to fix? The MouseClick event actually returns the player that clicked. So there's no need to define the player other than a Parameter(;
NOTE: if FilterIngEnabled is on, then ClickDetectors will not work.
local eat = game.ReplicatedStorage.EatOptions:Clone()
--'plr' is the player
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(plr)
local pg = plr.PlayerGui
eat.Parent = pg
end)
