How can I make a server script do stuff only locally?

I am trying to make a server script do things only locally. Is this possible and how I could do it? I have already tried to put local at function parts of a script but it seems to not work.

For a serverscript itself to do things locally, no it's not possible. It runs on the server and anything it does replicates.

There are several workarounds like what HappyTimIsHim stated :FireClient() , or just flat out use a localscript.

Local is mostly used to create variables in the context of the line.

What i mean by context of the line:

local var1 = "yay"

if var1 = "yay"
	local var1 = "sad"
	print(var1) -- returns sad
end

print(var1) -- Returns yay

Example 2:

local var1 = "yay"

if var1 = "yay"
	var1 = "sad"
end

print(var1) -- Returns sad
