Where can I put localscripts and how would I convert them into normal scripts?
Hello. You may or may not know my previous question about updating CoderQwerty's outdated "Random Weapon Script". Apparently it's not so outdated after all. Regardless, I found out what I was supposed to do, and now I need help again.
Everything is set up and in place, except for one problem.
The script is a localscript, and I do not know where to put it in my game, the differences between localscripts and normal scripts, and how I can convert localscript to normal script correctly in an efficient way.
-- RANDOM WEAPON -- Qwerty1806 -- 2014:07:25 -- Simply place all of the weapons you want to randomly give out inside a backpack called 'Weapons' in ReplicatedStorage. Weapons = game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapons:GetChildren() local Weapon = Weapons[math.random(1,#Weapons)]:Clone() Weapon.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
What I have done so far is create a folder, name it "Weapons", place it in ReplicatedStorage (where the script says to place it), and place the localscript itself into StarterPlayerScripts, and the weapon doesn't work whatsoever.
Yes, filteringenabled is disabled.
Testing in-game on studio with output viewing on, I catch this:
17:45:28.961 - Backpack is not a valid member of Player
17:45:28.962 - Stack Begin
17:45:28.963 - Script 'Players.TitaneumCat.PlayerScripts.RandomWeapon', Line 10
17:45:28.964 - Stack End
Problems? I don't know. There is more in the output, but mainly based on other scripts and these lines have the most relation to the Random Weapon Script.
If this problem has to do with the location of the localscript being in StarterPlayerScripts, then please give me an example of a correct location, if there are any better areas.
If it has to do with the script being a localscript itself, then can anyone suggest how I might be able to convert it to a regular script, and it being a regular script with benefits?
If anyone can give any advice, an answer to any script problems, script fixes, or just a suggestion, I will be forever grateful.
I'm sorry if this question is frequent or has already been answered numerous times.

You should do this in a script and I recommend to place the weapons in ServerStorage.
Weapons = game.ServerStorage.Weapons:GetChildren() game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local Weapon = Weapons[math.random(1,#Weapons)]:Clone() Weapon.Parent = player:WaitForChild('Backpack') end)
