Hi, I am trying to make a tool in roblox that makes people blind. How do I make the tool affect only one player at a time.
I am aware of lighting but that affects the whole server.
Thanks for help

If your game has FilteringEnabled, then anything done in a LocalScript will only be visible to the player.
If you wanted to create a PointLight object when the player clicks with the tool, then you would do this in a LocalScript:
-- localscript
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
local pointLight = Instance.new("PointLight")
pointLight.Parent = workspace
end)
The above script will create a new PointLight object that can only be seen by the player who clicked.
I hope this helps :)

thx a lot, this really helped!
Mess around with local. If you use "local" before a line of code, it will only affect the player who is having the script run on them, or just use a local script, but I advise the first one.

I don't think you understand the usage of 'local'. That's used to define the scope of a variable to be within it's local environment, not to be applied only to the local player.

It honestly depends.

Handle the code on the client.
