Is FE works on local models? can I change property of my player model in workspace by GUI button?

So i was making lightsaber that activates with GUI button using Transparency on morphed parts, but the problem that it is local script and i know that FE has to be activated with remote events, but is it works on local player model in workspace? Do i have to make main script and remote events for lightsaber activation?

Here's the script so you can see how it works.

view source
01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local plr = player.Character.Name
03local toggled = false
04local button = script.Parent
05 
06local function onButtonActivated()
07        game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plr).LightSaberModel1.Blade.Transparency = 0.3
08        game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plr).LightSaberModel2.Blade.Transparency = 1
09end
10 
11button.Activated:Connect(onButtonActivated)

there is no any errors in script, and it works perfectly and fine so idk if FE breaks it.

Firstly, put your ClientScript (LocalScript) on your tool. secondly put a new RemoteEvent and a new ServerScript (Script) in this tool. Now I start from the principle of you use a ScreenGui with on that a TextButton and a Tool.

We go to found the player on the ClientScript (LocalScript) like that

view source
1local Player = game:GetService('Players') -- This is the instance in the Players folder on the explorer

it's just a link. You can view this instance when you play on studio and you open the "Players" service on the explorer like that

Now you have see on this instance we've Backpack and PlayerGui. In the PlayerGui you can found your ScreenGui like that

view source
1local Player = game:GetService('Players')
2local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
3local YOUR_SCREENGUI = PlayerGui:WaitForChild('YOUR_SCREENGUI_NAME_HERE')

What's WaitForChild? Click here to see the Dev page

Now we've access to your UI! Congrats! Now your script look like this!

view source
01local Tool = script.Parent
02local Remote = Tool.RemoteEvent
03 
04local Player = game:GetService('Players')
05local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
06local YOUR_SCREENGUI = PlayerGui:WaitForChild('YOUR_SCREENGUI_NAME_HERE')
07 
08YOUR_SCREENGUI.TextButton.Activated:Connect(function() -- Directly execute this function!
09    Remote:FireServer()
10end)

Now go to your ServerScript (Script) and write thats!

view source
01local Tool = script.Parent
02local Remote = Tool.RemoteEvent
03 
04local Activ = false
05 
06Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
07    if not Activ then
08        Activ = true
09        Tool.Blade.Transparency = 0.3
10        Tool.Blade.Transparency = 1
11    end
12end)

Here's how to make an FE tool. If you have any questions ask them below!

i already made it FE, and its not tool, it is mesh that welds to Hands, i was wondering will local script that player model (workspace."LocalPlayer", in my situation it is workspace.DiGamesChannel), so the script was changing the property of blade of the morph with local script. digameschannel 44 — 5y

Just modify this to fit with your work with your blade, Doesn't found the player character with the workspace it's a bad metod, use the service Players, he is there for that. I find it unfortunate that my reputation has declined following my response here. Yet I open you to the right voice for better syntax. NiniBlackJackQc 1562 — 5y

Just a exemple, here I've weld a part on my LeftHand and I've change the Transparency with a LocalScript (ClientScript) and the server doesn't view the changement. https://gyazo.com/eff10eb15d345d39f4e69b55e6eb1963 NiniBlackJackQc 1562 — 5y
