How would you convert something like this over when using the new client filtering? [closed]
For example, say I had something like this:
mouse=Game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse();
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key:lower()=='e' then
Instance.new("Explosion",mouse.Target)
end
end)
--Please note that I'm not actually using the above code for anything, it's just an example.
The new filtering doesn't allow of using Instance.new() in a LocalScript from what I know about it, so how would I go about doing something like this?

You need to use RemoteFunctions - these ARE allowed to be used with FilteringEnabled.
This goes on the server script:
local RemoteFunction = Instance.new("RemoteFunction")
RemoteFunction.Name = "CreateExplosion"
RemoteFunction.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
function RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke(Position)
local new = Instance.new("Explosion", game.Workspace)
new.Position = Position -- note: explosions have a position property, putting them in a random part just creates an explosion on (0,0,0)
end
This in the client:
function CreateExplosion(pos) game.ReplicatedStorage.CreateExplosion:InvokeServer(pos or Vector3.new(0,0,0)) end mouse=Game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse(); mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) if key:lower()=='e' then CreateExplosion(mouse.hit.p) end end)
