I'm trying to make an axe and I don't know how to let my script edit bricks. Whenever I click a tree it falls down like it is supposed to but only on my screen. For my friends, it stays standing up. I know why this is happening I think.

Do I need multiple scripts for this or what?

Here is the local script I have right now:

local Tool = script.Parent.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse1)
    Mouse = mouse1
end)
	 
local function onActivation() 
	local rayDest = (Mouse.Hit.Position - script.Parent.CFrame.Position).Unit * 100 
	local ray = Ray.new(script.Parent.Position, rayDest)
	local hit,position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, {script.Parent})
	if hit then
		if hit.Name == "Log" or hit.Name == "Trunk" then
			local treeChilds = hit.Parent:GetChildren()
			for name, child in pairs(hit.Parent:GetChildren()) do -- Looping through all of the children
	    		if child:IsA("BasePart") then -- Checking if it's a part
	        	child.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red() 
	        	child.Anchored = false
	    		end
			end
		end
	end
end
	 
Tool.Activated:Connect(onActivation)

The reason for this is because you're doing it on the client. You'll need remote events to make changes replicate to the server.

Adding on to incapaz, as the tool is activated, fire the server on a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage and then in the server script in server script service type your properties code

A better idea would be to, on the server side, set the network owner of the part to the player.

Okay, I fixed the problem

you can use a script inside the tool as Activated Events can be accessed on the server
