Proper script/object placement?

Asked 393 views1 answers

Hi guys, I used to script before, but stopped when all these new storages came out (Replicated/serverscript/etc). I just wanted to ask what the proper placement for certain objects are. I understand that they were added largely for theft control.

ie. Before those all came out, I pretty much put all my scripts in workspace along with the map. I also put local scripts and other objects like tools/hops in lighting for easy access when needed. Guis in startergui etc

Now it just seems all soo complicated for me, having to put remote functions to call or fire a script? idk any of that. Im trying to take it one step at a time. Thank you

I recommend you check out an answer of mine where I do explain in detail the suitable places for scripts in Workspace.  https://scriptinghelpers.org/questions/55070/whats-the-best-place-to-store-local-scripts#53918

Usually, the placement doesn't really matter, but here are some common placements that people use:

ReplicatedStorage: Remote Events and Remote Functions tend to go here a lot. You usually want to use: 

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = RS:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

ServerScriptService: This is where you usually put loose scripts that don't really belong to a certain object. Main scripts (like handling rounds or the sort) go here. Module scripts are also sometimes placed here.

ServerStorage: You just tend to put objects that don't belong anywhere else here. This just keeps them stored somewhere until you need them.

I hope this helped!

Does the map stay in workspace?

Yes, unless you were using random maps. In that case you would put them in ServerStorage and when one is chosen, change it's parent to Workspace
