Is it possible to make a part in the workspace look different for each player?
I'm doing a mini-game where players can equip skins. In the lobby I wanted to set up statues that show each player their own skin I tried this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
wait (0.1)
while true do
wait (1)
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Skins.Weapons.AK12.Value == 1 then
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Material = ('SmoothPlastic')
end
end
but obviously it does not work because a script has no local player

Client-Server Replication
With FilteringEnabled, LocalScripts have great importance. A LocalScript cannot access top-level services such as ServerScriptService, HttpService, etc. Aswell as changes made to the client are NOT replicated to the server. This will allow us to make weapon
See this setup. Assume I have a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts to change a brick's color, I want Player1 to have a green brick, and Player2 to have a blue brick. I can do the following code:
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if plr.Name == "Player1" then
game.Workspace.Brick.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("green")
end
if plr.Name == "Player2" then
game.Workspace.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("blue")
end
Player1 would see Brick as green, and Player2 as blue. You can use this same setup for skins, changing it's physical properties aswell as it's size, rotation, etc.
Note that It has to be in a LocalScript!!. If it's in a ServerScript then it'll be replicated to EVERY player.
