I want a part to move for only one player, but idk where to put the local script in playercharacterscripts or starterGui I have no idk, so what do you guys scripters use or whats the normal place to place a script like this:

local sendSound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvents.ButtonSoundRemoteEvent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

sendSound.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, script.Parent.Position.Y - 0.25, script.Parent.Position.Z)
	
	local secondOff = 0.02 * player.Values.CooldownUpgrades.Value
	local cooldown = 1 - secondOff
	
	wait(cooldown)
	
	script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, script.Parent.Position.Y + 0.25, script.Parent.Position.Z)
end)

I would say in the gui that you are trying to script with. I just put it different places and see what works

It seems like you are trying to change a part’s position or something with the remote event?

So I’d recommend putting it inside of the part, which I think should work

Maybe try these scripts out that I just made?

These are test scripts by the way:

Client Script, inside of StarterCharacterScripts

Responds to the ClientEvent.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local sendSound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Folder.ButtonSoundRemoteEvent

sendSound.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(obj)
	if typeof(obj) == "Instance" and obj:IsA("Part") then
		obj.Position = Vector3.new(obj.Position.X, obj.Position.Y - 0.25, obj.Position.Z)

		local secondOff = 0.02 * player.Values.CooldownUpgrades.Value
		local cooldown = 1 - secondOff

		wait(cooldown)

		obj.Position = Vector3.new(obj.Position.X, obj.Position.Y + 0.25, obj.Position.Z)
	end
end)

Server Script, inside of ServerScriptService

messages the ClientEvent.

local sendSound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Folder.ButtonSoundRemoteEvent

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	wait(5)
	sendSound:FireClient(plr,  -- part ) -- >> In the second part in the parenthesis, put the part that you are trying to change the position of.
end)

Try it out and see what happens.

A local script does not work in workspace unless Parented to the Character. I’m not sure, but you can probably put it in StarterCharacter or StarterPlayer.

Can I see what you changed inside of the ServerScript?

(this script)

local sendSound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Folder.ButtonSoundRemoteEvent

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	wait(5)
	sendSound:FireClient(plr,  -- part ) -- >> In the second part in the parenthesis, put the part that you are trying to change the position of.
end)

like what parts of the script have you changed

its really a long script but this is the important part

local sendSound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvents.ButtonSoundRemoteEvent
local stepPart = script.Parent

sendSound:FireClient(player, inSound, outSound, stepPart)

I dont really know how to sent stuff somethimes when I remove something and then in the other one where I use the same remote event it jsut doesnt work

Put it in either StarterPlayerScripts, StarterCharacterScripts,StarterPack or StarterGui

This script wouldn’t work at all, since there aren’t any variables for all 4 instances.

Here is the fix for the server script, make sure the server script is inside of ServerScriptService

local sendSound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Folder.ButtonSoundRemoteEvent
local stepPart = workspace:WaitForChild("stepPart")
local inSound = stepPart:WaitForChild("inSound")
local outSound = stepPart:WaitForChild("inSound")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	wait(5)
	sendSound:FireClient(player, inSound, outSound, stepPart)
end)

Also, may I see your Client Script?

(this one)

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local sendSound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Folder.ButtonSoundRemoteEvent

sendSound.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(obj)
	if typeof(obj) == "Instance" and obj:IsA("Part") then
		obj.Position = Vector3.new(obj.Position.X, obj.Position.Y - 0.25, obj.Position.Z)

		local secondOff = 0.02 * player.Values.CooldownUpgrades.Value
		local cooldown = 1 - secondOff

		wait(cooldown)

		obj.Position = Vector3.new(obj.Position.X, obj.Position.Y + 0.25, obj.Position.Z)
	end
end)

serverscript is in the part in the workspace and it still doesnt go past the to if statement because after I sent it trough the remote event it will = nil for some reason

Why didn’t you try putting the ServerScript inside of ServerScriptService though?
