Is there some sort of Client-Side .Touched event?
I was creating some levels, in which you have to touch a brick to teleport to the level area.
So the ServerScript inside of the Part went something like this:
local canRecieve = true
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:WaitForChild('Humanoid') then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if canRecieve == true then
canRecieve = false
player:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Vertigo.Value = player:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Vertigo.Value + 1000
game.ReplicatedStorage.OneThousandRecieved:FireClient(player)
hit.Parent:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart').CFrame = CFrame.new(40.882, 3.974, -9.194)
wait(60)
canRecieve = true
end
end
end)
The thing is, it's server-side. I want the cooldown of the .Touched event ONLY for the client, so that no one can abuse this system and not let anyone through.
Do I have to use RemoteEvents? If so, how could I use it?
Help please!

You can use Local Scripts for Touched Events. But Local Scripts do not work in Workspace unless it is a descendant of a Player's Character Model. So you would have to store the Local Script into StarterPlayerScripts.
Since we are working on a Local Script. We want to make sure the player who touched the part is the local player so we can keep it all local.
-- Local Script --
-- Variables
local StarterPlayerScripts = script.Parent
local part = workspace.Part
-- Functions
local function onTouch(hit)
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer
if player and player == localPlayer then
print(player)
end
end
-- Events/Connections
part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Adding leaderstats on the client side = bad idea.
What I would do is create an array like this:
local deb = {}
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:WaitForChild('Humanoid') then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if (deb[hit.Parent.Name] == true) then return end
deb[hit.Parent.Name] = true
player:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Vertigo.Value = player:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Vertigo.Value + 1000
game.ReplicatedStorage.OneThousandRecieved:FireClient(player)
hit.Parent:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart').CFrame = CFrame.new(40.882, 3.974, -9.194)
wait(60)
deb[hit.Parent.Name] = false
end
end)
This stores an individual debounce (what you're attempting to achieve) value for every player. Remember that filtering enabled causes no data to be "written" (you could call it) from the client. Therefore, you cannot set leaderstats for everyone else unless its server side.
