How can I convert this from a LocalScript to a regular script that works in ServerScriptService?

Asked by

Due to complications (with FE) I need to convert my code so that it will work in a regular script in ServerScriptService but currently it only works in a LocalScript in StarterGui. Can someone please help?

Code:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local petname = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Pet.PetName.Value
local mesh = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(petname)
-- local fly = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Pet.DoesItFly.Value
-------------------------------------------------------------
wait(2)
local part = Instance.new('Part', workspace[plr.Name].Torso)
part.CanCollide = false
part.Anchored = true
part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
mesh:Clone().Parent = part
local direction = CFrame.new(part.Position, plr.Character['Left Leg'].Position).lookVector
local increment = direction * 4
while true do
    wait()
    part.CFrame = game.Workspace[plr.Name]['Torso'].CFrame + (direction * increment) + Vector3.new(-5,0,0)
    part.Rotation = game.Workspace[plr.Name]['Torso'].Rotation + (direction * increment) + Vector3.new(-1,-2,increment)
end

Put a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage named "UpdatePet", if you change the name of it change the name in the lines that start with "local RemoteEventName = "

In the local script you had before:

local RemoteEventName = "UpdatePet"
wait(2)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild(RemoteEventName):FireServer()

In a server script in ServerScriptService:

local RemoteEventName = "UpdatePet"
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild(RemoteEventName).OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local petname = plr.Pet.PetName.Value
    local mesh = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(petname)
    -- local fly = plr.Pet.DoesItFly.Value
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    local part = Instance.new('Part', workspace[plr.Name].Torso)
    part.CanCollide = false
    part.Anchored = true
    part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
    mesh:Clone().Parent = part
    local direction = CFrame.new(part.Position, plr.Character['Left Leg'].Position).lookVector
    local increment = direction * 4
    while true do
        wait()
        part.CFrame = game.Workspace[plr.Name]['Torso'].CFrame + (direction * increment) + Vector3.new(-5,0,0)
        part.Rotation = game.Workspace[plr.Name]['Torso'].Rotation + (direction * increment) + Vector3.new(-1,-2,increment)
    end
end)

I didn't test this, if it doesn't work let me know and I'll look into it
