how do i run touched event on local script?
so im making an easter egg in my game and there is a part that changes text label text But only for the player who touched the brick. Yes the script is in starter gui.
local part = game.Workspace.special.evenmorespecial.secret
part.Touched:Connect(function()
local text1 = "..."
local text2 = "why would someone like this come here?"
local text3 = "hmm?"
local text4 = "i guess you dont like to talk."
local text5 = "... or you are a bit shocked?"
local text6 = "you probably got here by accident... just like i did..."
local text7 = "well, i didn't see a single human for years!"
local text8 = "i'll reward you with the ability to spawn the green dirt."
local text9 = "bye!"
local text = game.StarterGui.TFlaniganDialogue.d1
wait(1)
for i = 1, #text1 do
text.Text = string.sub(text1, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(3)
for i = 1, #text2 do
text.Text = string.sub(text2, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(4)
for i = 1, #text3 do
text.Text = string.sub(text3, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(3)
for i = 1, #text4 do
text.Text = string.sub(text4, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(4)
for i = 1, #text5 do
text.Text = string.sub(text5, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(3)
for i = 1, #text6 do
text.Text = string.sub(text6, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(3)
for i = 1, #text7 do
text.Text = string.sub(text7, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(3)
for i = 1, #text8 do
text.Text = string.sub(text8, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
wait(4)
for i = 1, #text9 do
text.Text = string.sub(text9, 1, i)
wait(0.04)
end
end)

Well you can put the touched event in a serverscript and use a remote event to fire a signal to the client, then use OnClientEvent to handle the request.
Examples:
-- Server Script
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
remoteEvent:FireClient(plr)
end
end)
-- Client script in startergui remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() -- your easter egg code here end)

it says onclientevent can be only used on the client. do i have to do something with local scripts? TFlanigan 86 — 4y

For server->client, use `remoteEvent.OnClientEvent` in a localscript(s) and use `remoteEvent:FireClient(player)` or `remoteEvent:FireAllClients()` in a server script. Client->Server should instead use `remoteEvent:FireServer()` in a localscript and use `remoteEvent.OnServerEvent` in server script royaltoe 5144 — 4y

On the same local script do
Local variable = what the local part's name is
If variable.touched:connect(function ()
Print("or code goes here")
end)
