Making it so all players can see changes to a player's character(FE)?

I recently made my game FilteringEnabled. I have a character creation GUI in the beginning of the game when a player joins and it changes the characters face, shirt, pants, etc. Before Filtering, all players could see the changes done (shirts changing, pants changing, etc). But after Filtering, only the localplayer sees the items being changed on his/her character.

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local Character = player.Character
03if not Character or not Character.Parent then
04    Character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
05end
06 
07 
08script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
09    local Head = Character.Head
10    local BodyColors = Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
11    local Shirt = Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt")
12    local Pants = Character:FindFirstChild("Pants")
13    if Shirt then
14        Shirt.ShirtTemplate = "rbxassetid://629730174"
15    else
16        local Shirt = Instance.new("Shirt", Character)
17        Shirt.ShirtTemplate = "rbxassetid://629730174"
18    end
19    if Pants then
20        Pants.PantsTemplate = "rbxassetid://629736312"
21    else
22        local Pants = Instance.new("Pants", Character)
23        Pants.PantsTemplate = "rbxassetid://629736312"
24    end
25    for i,v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
26        if v.ClassName == "Accessory" then
27            v:Destroy()
28        end
29    end
30    for i,v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
31        if v.ClassName == "Hat" then
32            v:Destroy()
33        end
34    end
35    --local hat = game.ReplicatedStorage.NerdHair:Clone()
36    --hat.Parent = Character
37    local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
38    local WallyHat = ReplicatedStorage.Remote.WallyHat
39    WallyHat:FireServer()
40    Head.face.Texture = "rbxassetid://144763383"
41    BodyColors.RightArmColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")

49        c:Destroy()
50    end

53    Character.BlackFlash:Destroy()

56    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Minus.Visible = true

58    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Walkspeed.Visible = true

I'm not sure but I think I would need to use a RemoteEvent and use FireAllClients(). Can someone point me in the right direction?

FilteringEnabled can be tricky, but you can't change anything in a LocalScript without it being local. You need to use a server script, RemoteEvents, and FireServer.

Put this in a server script in ServerScriptService:

01local Event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
02Event.Name = "ChangeShirt"
03Event.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
04 
05local Event2 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
06Event2.Name = "ChangePants"
07Event2.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
08 
09local Event3 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
10Event3.Name = "ChangeBodyColors"
11Event3.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
12 
13Event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, id, shirt)
14    if shirt ~= nil then
15        shirt.ShirtTemplate = id
16    else
17        shirt = Instance.new("Shirt", plr.Character)
18        shirt.ShirtTemplate = id
19    end
20 
21    for i,v in pairs(plr.Character:GetChildren()) do
22        if v.ClassName == "Accessory" then
23            v:Destroy()
24        end
25    end
26 
27    for i,v in pairs(plr.Character:GetChildren()) do
28            if v.ClassName == "Hat" then
29                    v:Destroy()
30            end
31    end
32end)
33 
34Event2.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, id, pants)
35    if pants ~= nil then
36        pants.PantsTemplate = id
37    else
38        pants = Instance.new("Pants", plr.Character)
39        pants.PantsTemplate = id
40    end
41end)
42 
43Event3.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr)
44    plr.Character.Head.face.Texture = "rbxassetid://144763383"
45    if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors") ~= nil then
46        local BodyColors = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
47            BodyColors.RightArmColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
48            BodyColors.LeftArmColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
49            BodyColors.LeftLegColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
50            BodyColors.RightLegColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
51            BodyColors.TorsoColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
52            BodyColors.HeadColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
53    end
54        local c = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("TheFlash")
55        if c then
56            c:Destroy()
57        end
58    plr.Character.Zoom:Destroy()
59    plr.Character.ReverseFlash:Destroy()
60        plr.Character.BlackFlash:Destroy()
61end)

Now this should be your LocalScript:

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local Character = player.Character
03if not Character or not Character.Parent then
04    Character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
05end
06 
07local ChangeShirt = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeShirt")
08local ChangePants = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangePants")
09local ChangeColors = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeBodyColors")
10 
11script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
12    local Head = Character.Head
13    local BodyColors = Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
14    local Shirt = Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt")
15    local Pants = Character:FindFirstChild("Pants")
16    if Shirt then
17        ChangeShirt:FireServer("rbxassetid://629730174",Shirt)
18    else
19        ChangeShirt:FireServer("rbxassetid://629730174")
20    end
21    if Pants then
22        ChangePants:FireServer("rbxassetid://629736312",Pants)
23    else
24        ChangePants:FireServer("rbxassetid://629736312")
25    end
26    --local hat = game.ReplicatedStorage.NerdHair:Clone()
27    --hat.Parent = Character
28    local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
29    local WallyHat = ReplicatedStorage.Remote.WallyHat
30    WallyHat:FireServer()
31    ChangeColors:FireServer()
32    local t = game:GetService('UserInputService').TouchEnabled
33    if t == true then
34    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Minus.Visible = true
35    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Plus.Visible = true
36    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Walkspeed.Visible = true
37else
38    player.PlayerGui.ControlHUD.Frame.Visible = true
39    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
40end
41end)

This should all (in theory) work as you want, if anything goes wrong feel free to comment and I'll try to respond as quick as possible.
