Local script not working in published - cloning model to player's camera?

I have a script that duplicates a model from ServerStorage and sends it to the player's camera. It works in studio, but not in published mode.

view source
1game.ReplicatedStorage.rings.rings1.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plrWhoFiredEvent)
2    game.ServerStorage.rings:Clone().Parent = workspace.Camera
3    wait(210)
4    workspace.Camera.rings:Remove()

ServerStorage is for the server only not the client. Also local scripts do not run in the workspace. User#5423 17 — 7y

this local script is inside ServerScriptService, and I tried running it out of Lighting, it also doesn't work callmehbob 54 — 7y

(putting the model in lighting instead of serverstorage, i mean, not the local script - for testing purposes) callmehbob 54 — 7y

Problems

It seems that you have a networking issue. You setup an OnServerEvent event to clone the models into the clients Camera.

This is a problem because you can only access the camera on the client, and OnServerEvent events are for the server. You have a backwards setup you see?

Solution

What you can do is reverse your setup so that you have the server calling a FireClient function, and the client receiving it using the OnClientEvent event.

Your setup would look like this;

Workspace

Script --> 'FireClient' on RemoteEvent.

ReplicatedStorage

RemoteEvent

StarterPack

LocalScript --> 'OnClientEvent' on RemoteEvent.

Note: Remove is deprecated! Use Destroy!

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Happy developing!
