using .Touched with a localscript?
I'm kinda abusing the idea of filteringenabled right now, basically, I want to disable this script for only the client and not the whole server.
Here's my script;
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player and player:IsA("Player") then
player.leaderstats.Stage.Value = player.leaderstats.Stage.Value + 1
script.Disabled = true
end
end)
I also tried;
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if player and player:IsA("Player") then
player.leaderstats.Stage.Value = player.leaderstats.Stage.Value + 1
script.Disabled = true
end
end)
Neither of them works.
(keep in mind that this is a localscript, i tried using normalscript for this script and it worked fine. I just want to replicate the changes to only the client, not the whole server.)

Local scripts only run when they are a descendant of something that is individual to the player, such as their gui, character, backpack, etc. As a result, a local script that is inside of a part will not run.
To fix this, you can put the local script inside one of these things that are individual to the client, and do something like this:
workspace["PartName"].Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
--do stuff
end
end)
However, if you only edit the leaderstats with a local script, it will not update on the server, thus not updating their stat for everyone else. To fix this you can use a server script instead and keep track of all the players who have touched the part before, only letting them touch it once.
local plrsWhoTouched = {}
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if plr then
for _,v in pairs(plrsWhoTouched) do
if v == plr then return end
end
plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value = plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value + 1
table.insert(plrsWhoTouched,1,plr)
end
end)
