ROBLOX Wiki Filtering Enabled not working?

This is some script from the RemoteFunction and RemoteEvent tutorial on the wiki. I've followed all the instructions however it's still not working. I dont believe I'm missing anything... Please help

-- Inside Local Script
local clickDetector = Instance.new("ClickDetector")
clickDetector.Parent = game.Workspace.ColorBrick
clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(hit)
	game.Workspace.MyServerEvent:FireServer()
end)
-- Inside Server Script
local event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") -- creates the event object
event.Parent = game.Workspace -- puts the event into the Workspace
event.Name = "MyServerEvent" -- giving a name to the event so we can fire it specifically elsewhere
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function() -- define the function that will be called when the event is fired
        -- this is where you put all the code you want to run when the event is fired
	game.Workspace.ColorBrick.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random() 
end)

Looks fine to me. Where is the Local Script located?

Make sure the LocalScript is located somewhere in the player Character or in the Player object inside game.Players

You can also put the script in a tool. I prefer StarterPlayerScripts, I made the same mistake before, But i mostly solved it using a code:

Simple script that solved most of my problems:


local function scan(x)
    for i,v in ipairs(x:GetChildren()) do
----------------------------------------------------------------
        if v:IsA("ClickDetector") and v.Parent:FindFirstChild("ClickEvent") then
            v.MouseClick:connect(function() v.Parent.ClickEvent:FireServer() end)
        end
----------------------------------------------------------------
        if next(v:GetChildren()) ~= nil then
            scan(v)
        end
    end
end

scan(workspace)


And just put a RemoteEvent called "ClickEvent" on the same folder as the ClickDetector, and Change the script to

local clickEvent = script.Parent.ClickEvent
clickEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(doSomething)

That's a cool script. Where did you get it? Also, doing this is unnecessary.
