Animation Playing Locally & Not Server Sided

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi. I’m trying to make a mopping/janitor system for my game. I want it to freeze the player’s jumppower and walkspeed when they touch a spill and have the mop equipped as well as play a mopping animation and increase their leaderstats.

My problem is that the animation is playing only for the player who mops the spill on a client-side, and I want it to play server-sided. Despite trying lots of solutions to fix this, it still won’t work. Any help with this would be appreciated. :heart:

Local Script under StarterPlayerScripts (to play animation):

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local remote = ReplicatedStorage.AnimationForSpill
local animation = ReplicatedStorage.MopAnimation

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    local character = player.Character
    local humanoid = character and character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

    if not humanoid then
        return
    end
    humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
end)

Script Under Mop:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local spill = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Spill

local TWEEN_INFO = TweenInfo.new(
    4,
    Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
    Enum.EasingDirection.Out
)

local mop = script.Parent

local player = mop.Parent.Parent
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local activated = false

mop.Touch.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent ~= workspace.Spills or hit.Size ~= spill.Size or activated then
        return
    end
    activated = true
    local humanoid = character.Humanoid
    humanoid.JumpPower = 0
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    game.ReplicatedStorage.AnimationForSpill:FireClient(player)
    
    local tween = TweenService:Create(hit, TWEEN_INFO, {
        Size = Vector3.new()
    })
    tween:Play()
    tween.Completed:Wait()
    
    humanoid.JumpPower = 50
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
    hit:Destroy()
    player.leaderstats.Points.Value += 2
    activated = false
end)

‘SpillHandler’ Script:

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local TIME_RANGE = NumberRange.new(5, 30)
local LIMIT = 100

local spillAreas = workspace.SpillAreas:GetChildren()
local spillsFolder = workspace.Spills

local spill = ServerStorage.Spill

local spillColors = {
    Color3.fromRGB(180, 255, 189),
    Color3.fromRGB(255, 245, 129),
    Color3.fromRGB(255, 96, 120),
    Color3.fromRGB(199, 234, 255)
}

local random = Random.new()
local function getRandomColor()
    return random:NextInteger(0, 255)
end

while true do
    if #spillsFolder:GetChildren() < LIMIT then
        wait(random:NextInteger(TIME_RANGE.Min, TIME_RANGE.Max))
        local randomArea = spillAreas[random:NextInteger(1, #spillAreas)]
        local areaSize = randomArea.Size * 0.5
        
        local bottomLeft = randomArea.Position - areaSize
        local TopRight = randomArea.Position + areaSize
        
        local newSpill = spill:Clone()
        
        newSpill.Color = Color3.new(getRandomColor(), getRandomColor(), getRandomColor())
        newSpill.Parent = workspace.Spills
        repeat
            newSpill.CFrame = CFrame.new(
                random:NextInteger(bottomLeft.X, TopRight.X), 
                bottomLeft.Y,
                random:NextInteger(bottomLeft.Z, TopRight.Z)
            ) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(random:NextInteger(-179, 179)), math.rad(90))
        until #newSpill:GetTouchingParts() <= 1
    else
        spillsFolder.ChildRemoved:Wait()
    end
end
