Why does not any scripts in my cloned local parts work?

Asked 157 views1 answers

So,

I've been trying and trying for hours coming up with impossible solutions, all I want is a clickable key, that when clicked, will be destroyed; which would then make it possible to go through another door. This is quite easy to do, and I did it, in normal parts. But, when cloning them and making them into local parts, (parts that each and every player should see and have separately) it just does not want to work. Can scripts in local parts even work? I tried making simple scripts, such as when clicking print. Or when touched print something. That doesn't work either, what am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? I'm just very confused and frustrated. Please, help is very much appreciatable.

Regards, Simon.

There is no need to clone the parts. Just have them in the workspace and use a Local Script to deleted them locally (assuming FE is enabled).

A common mistake you are probably making is having these cloned parts use a Server Script. This will not work because Filtering Enabled is doing its job in securing the game. Server Scripts only run if the Server can see it and if it is in a spot where it can run. In this case, the server cannot see the script because it was cloned locally.

Instead of having the Server Script detect the clicking, attach the Local Scripts to the ClickDetectors and their events instead. You could also make a custom system with Mouse.Target and UserInputService if you don't want to stick with ClickDetectors.

Good luck!
