(Answered) How Do I Create Instances From A Local Script For The Entire Server To See?

Asked 490 views1 answers

Today I tried to create a local script that creates new instances in the workspace for the entire server but unfortunately I don't understand how to communicate after the filtering enabled update and I wasted somewhere in between an hour and a half to 2 hours trying to figure it out using remote functions and events until I scrapped everything except the local script in one of the starter gui's, Here it is:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local MusicFolder = Instance.new("Folder", workspace)
	local SongId = Instance.new("NumberValue", workspace)
	local Username = Instance.new("StringValue", workspace)
	SongId.Value = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
	Username.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name
	SongId.Parent = MusicFolder
	Username.Parent = MusicFolder
	SongId.Name = "SongId"
	Username.Name = "Username"
	MusicFolder.Parent = game.Workspace.MusicGenerator
end)

Could someone please show me how to make the folder and values spawn in the workspace for the entire server and not just for the client?

To bypass filtering enabled, you'll have to use remote events, since the client's changes to the workspace do not replicated. I wasn't sure what the parents of your script were, so excuse the poor variable names in the remote event.

--Local script

local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") --wait for remote

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   remote:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name,script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text) --send needed data
end)


--Server script

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") --create remote
remote.Parent = repStorage

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,name,TextboxText)
    local MusicFolder = Instance.new("Folder") --second argument of .new() deprecated
    MusicFolder.Parent = workspace
    local SongId = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    SongId.Parent = workspace
    local Username = Instance.new("StringValue")
    Username.Parent = workspace
    SongId.Value = TextboxText
    Username.Value = name
    SongId.Parent = MusicFolder
    Username.Parent = MusicFolder
    SongId.Name = "SongId"
    Username.Name = "Username"
    MusicFolder.Parent = game.Workspace.MusicGenerator
end)
