[SOLVED] Why does this script work in play test but not in the actual game?
EDIT: This script is supposed to spawn a tent near the player, also, it is an hopperbin tool.
tent = game.Lighting.Tent1
work = true
close = false
d = nil
function onButton1Down(mouse)
player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character
ft = player:findFirstChild("Tent")
if ft ~= nil then
print("Tent Already Pitched")
return
end
if work == false then return end
work = false
wait(2)
work = true
newtent = tent:clone()
newtent.Name = "Tent"
c = newtent:GetChildren()
newtent.Parent = player
print("Player Found")
local t = player:findFirstChild("Torso")
if t ~= nil then
print("Torso Found")
p = newtent
d = p.Door
p:MoveTo(t.Position + Vector3.new(0, -5, -13))
p:MakeJoints()
print("Tent Pitched")
p.Bed.Color = Color3.new(math.random(), math.random(), math.random())
for i, v in pairs(c) do
if c[i].className == "Part" then
c[i].Color = p.Bed.Color
end
end
p.NameTag.Name = player.Name.."'s tent."
wait(0.5)
p.Bed.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1)
end
end
function onKeyDown(key)
if (key~=nil) then
key = key:lower()
if (key=="t") then
local t = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character:findFirstChild("Tent")
if t ~= nil then
t:remove()
end
end
if (key=="c") then
if close == false then
d.Transparency = 0
d.CanCollide = true
close = true
elseif close == true then
d.Transparency = 1
d.CanCollide = false
close = false
end
end
end
end

Well, most of the time if it will work in Studio and not in a server is because of Filtering Enabled. If you have Filtering Enabled then the client can not create or change anything held on the server, so it would only be on the client. But let's say we want the client to change something specific on the server, you would do this with RemoteFucntion and RemoteEvnent. Now, that could be one of the problems but there's no guarantee.
Here's some other pointers while I'm here: 1.)Don't store stuff in lighting, use ServerStorage or ReplicatedStorage. 2.)If you're going to delete a object, don't use :remove(), use :Destroy. Removing stuff with :remove() does not actually delete them. It just sticks them into the server's memory for later which can slowly slow the server down. It's like putting stuff into the recycle bin on your desktop. Instead, using :Destroy() actually deletes the object.
