How do I make a GUI button move clone then move a part?
Hello there, I'm trying to make a GUI that will clone a part in ServerStorage then move it to Workspace. For some weird reason, it just says "TestPart is not a valid member of ServerStorage".
Here's my script(It's a local script in the button):
1 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
2 | local storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage") |
3 | local part = storage["TestPart"]:clone() -- Change "Part" to the part name. |
4 | part.Parent = game.Workspace |
5 | end) |

Client-Server separation
This is because the client can't access anything in ServerStorage or ServerScriptService, for safety purposes, what you should do is use a remote event to communicate between client and server, like such
Client Side:
1 | local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent |
2 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
3 | Remote:FireServer() |
4 | end) |
ServerSide:
1 | local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent |
2 | Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr) |
3 | local storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage") |
4 | local part = storage.TestPart:Clone() |
5 | part.Parent = workspace |
6 | end) |
Remote events, in general, should be put inside ReplicatedStorage, which, unlike ServerStorage, replicates to the client.

put the client side code where you had your local script, and put the server side code in a server script (prefereably in server script service) theking48989987 2147 — 5y
