Changing player appearance on Server Client?
I'm having trouble understanding how exactly could I make changes to a player and have other players around see those changes. How would I go about dealing with this problem?
Here's an example on a local script
local button = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
for i, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA('MeshPart') or v:IsA('Part') then
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(math.random(), math.random(), math.random())
end
end
end)

You will need remote events, as the server cannot, and should not handle user input / GUI input. User#24403 69 — 6y

You will need a remote event to be fired to achieve this.
Put this code into the local script
localscript
local button = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players") --Use :GetService as the script could break if an exploiter changes the name of "Players". This prevents that.
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character
local Storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = Storage:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent") -- This will fire the serverscript.
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
event:FireServer()
end)
Add a serverscript into the serverscriptservice and write this code
serverscript
--put this script inside of serverscriptservice
local Storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
Storage:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
local Character = Player.Character
for i, v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(math.random(), math.random(), math.random())
end
end
end)
