Script Only works in Edit mode and not When I publish the game?

When I publish the game and try to play it from the site, none of my LocalScripts are working. I tried putting everything inside of a normal script but nothing worked. I think it has something to do with the code itself, but I have no clue where to start. All my code is placed inside of a LocalScript which is in StarterCharacterScripts. Can anyone explain why? Here is my code right now.

001--Getting the Camera
002game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
003    script.LocalScript:clone().Parent = player.CharacterAdded:wait()

013local lastTapTime = 0
014local clicked = false
015local Trail = game.ServerStorage.Trail:Clone()

hey, could you tell me what error it gives when you test it on a server? Tligtre123 53 — 6y

Hey, I have figured it out for you. First, the LocalScript should be in StarterGui. The trail can't be in the ServerStorage if you want to clone it locally. So you need to put the trail in the Workspace. I have improved your script a bit because it gave me some errors. here's the script:

001--Getting the Camera
002game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
003    script.LocalScript:clone().Parent = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
004end)    
005 
006 
007--Local Variables   
008local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
009local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
010game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
011local Char = player.Character
012local Humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
013local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
014local lastTapTime = 0
015local clicked = false
016local Trail = game.Workspace.Trail:Clone() --I have changed it to Workspace because you can't get anything from the ServerStorage locally.
017_G.Energy = 100
018local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
