How can I edit my script to allow the game to function in online mode?

Asked 263 views1 answers

I'm working on a game that allows blocks you touch to change colour based on your team colour, I was wondering what was wrong with this script that did not allow it to work in online mode. In test mode in studio it works perfectly. This is in a normal script in the part; 

function onTouch(hit)
    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    if player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
		script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("New Yeller") then
		script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
	elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Lime green") then
		script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
	elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Toothpaste") then
		script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Toothpaste")
	elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really blue") then
		script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really blue")
	elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Hot pink") then
		script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Hot pink")
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

I've experienced this problem before with click detectors, and without a solution none of my games are working. Please send help :c

If this is a normal script, it cannot access game.Players.LocalPlayer. You should use game.Players.GetPlayerFromCharacter() instead.

You can only use LocalPlayer in local scripts.

Because Local Scripts don't work in workspace, we'll use the GetPlayerFromCharacter function of the Players Service.

function onTouch(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)-- Gets player
    if player then-- Makes sure player exists
        if player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
            script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
        elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("New Yeller") then
            script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
        elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Lime green") then
            script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
        elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Toothpaste") then
            script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Toothpaste")
        elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really blue") then
            script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really blue")
        elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Hot pink") then
            script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Hot pink")
        end
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Good Luck!
