ok, WaitForChild is used to fix problems with the script, where sometimes you'd type a string saying game.Workspace.Part.Transparency = 0.5, and then you'd try to run it and sometimes the game might say "Part is not a valid member of Workspace", despite "Part" seemingly existing in workspace. This is happening because the script ran that line and looked for "Part" in workspace, but "Part" hasn't loaded in yet so it assumes it doesn't exist. However, if you use game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part") then it will wait at maximum about 5 seconds for it to load (Usually it doesn't matter as the part would load in with about 0.2 seconds of time) and it will fix the problem and the script will continue running as expected.

FindFirstChild() is something like, if you have part you write FindFirstChild("Part"), if you have it, and make :Destroy, it will instantly dissapear, this is same for WaitForChild(), but there script *Wait* for part.

If you used GUI for the health, then you have to make, that the GUI is updating automaticly, by looking how much HP every player has. If you used the normal Roblox system, then i can't help you. Because i'm a starter in Roblox Lua. But i hope i can help you with my answer.

Saved me a lot of headache just scrolling through the comments, Gnome if I make a local script making a part no longer collide and transparent does that mean only that one player will be able to go through that particular door/area or if I’m sneaky and run through at the same time would I get in too. Thanks in advanced for the answer I know the block would be stored with the server in workspace.. wouldn’t it?

local player is the player that the local script goes to. So if you want a local script to only affect the player you are controlling instead of having a server script that controls everyone.

​@@heetman5925the client or player that the localscript is running for*

Create a remote event and use that to communicate client sided scripts (local scripts) and server sided scripts (normal scripts). Fire the event on the client to the server with the arguments that you want to pass onto and then use a roblox script connection on the server and run a function wich will provide the arguments you fired in the local script (you can also do the same for server scripts to local scripts)

Yup, what you're looking for are called RemoteEvents. It can be quite a complicated topic but there is a very informative article on the wiki about it developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Remote-Functions-and-Events

Yes, Remote Functions and Remote Events

@@GnomeCode Can you just make a video about that?

Hi, sorry for the late response. Did you get it fixed? If not, maybe you could give me the error you're getting? Also, try joining us over on the discord for a more speedy response: discord.gg/utqq7zM

thank you i fixed the problem

The thing to be aware of with local scripts is they can only run if they are placed inside a players starterpack, startergui, or startercharacter. If you're wanting to communicate between the server and the client you may also want to look into Remote Events

Okay, thanks

If you want to access a player in a server script you need to know that players name, as the server won't automatically know which player you want. There is an event that will fire when any player joins the server, you may find this helpful. developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/Players/PlayerAdded

now 286 ;-;

ay look he got there

You could use a remote event to fire from the client to the server the player

No

wait nvm

Not quite sure what you mean when you say an 'actual server'. Do you mean in-game?

A local script will only make changes to the local side (the device you're on). That's why you can open up a menu in a game without everybody else having to view it at the same time. Join me on discord (link in description) if you want extra help though :)

Sooo, we need to change LocalScript to Script?

Šoťák Šimon - Hlavný kanál yeah i guess, Local Script = Device of player Script = Everyone’s device in the server

@@magma5267 i know, im dev.

Šoťák Šimon - Hlavný kanál then why’d you ask?

Are you using localscript for the turret? If so, you should probably change it to normal server script for everybody to see it

you need to use a server script

You'd need to write the code within a local script, but bear in mind. Local scripts won't run inside the workspace so you could try putting it inside starterplayer scripts

GnomeCode ok I’ll see if I can figure that out
