If the "local part" is created by the client, it will simply not exist on the server due to properties of Filtering Enabled.
The part will only exist on the client. If you want to check if a part exist on both the client and the server you can use a RemoteEvent to send the part object and check if it's nil or not.
01 | --server |
02 | RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, part) |
03 | if (part) then |
04 | print(part.Name .. " exists on server.") |
05 | else |
06 | print("Part doesn't exist on server.") |
07 | end |
08 | end) |
09 |
10 | --client |
11 | RemoteEvent:FireServer(workspace.Baseplate) |
12 | RemoteEvent:FireServer(Instance.new("Part", workspace)) |
Output:
Baseplate exists on server.
Part doesn't exist on server.
Good luck.

I substituted "ButtonModel" for "RedPart". And when I create the instance "RedPart" with a local script I did not get a read out. i also changed code with print("Yes")) ffancyaxax12 181 — 5y

It didn't work because you're using a LocalScript to insert a part into the workspace. So it's Client Sided, not Server Sided. To insert a part, use a Server Script for the server to pass it through it's connections and verify it's existence into the game. In summary, use ServerScripts for things you want everyone to see or have an affect with, and use a LocalScript in GUI's for only the person... killerbrenden 1537 — 5y

and other stuff for only the person to see who's using the computer. YouTube is a great way to learn scripting. killerbrenden 1537 — 5y
