Code not running

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi! I have no idea why this code isn’t running. It won’t print at all, nothing is running. It is fairly simple

Code 
print("test1")
-- Variables
local Player = script.Parent.Parent
local TemShop = game.Workspace.TemShop
local Button = game.Workspace.TemShop.InteractButton
local ClickDetector = game.Workspace.TemShop.InteractButton.ClickDetector
local ShoppingGui = game.Lighting.ShoppingGui:Clone()
-- Clicked Code
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = TemShop.PlayerShopPosition.CFrame
	Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
	ShoppingGui.Parent = Player.Character.Head
end)
Information on Code

Is this a script or a local script and where is it located?
edit. Nvm, you need a local script on the client for the script to run, regular scripts wont run

…

Please read the “Information on Code” section.

#4

Put the code in ServerScriptService

#5

Why? This is meant to run on certain players. What would the benefit be? I know how to convert it to .PlayerAdded.

#6

Then you should be using a LocalScript.

#7

Yes but it’s affects are meant to be seen by all.

#8

Affects done in StarterPlayerScripts cannot be seen by all.

#9

remote events? have you not used that before?

#10

Yes. That is why it is a server script.

#11

Put it in serverscript service it would work perfectly fine as you are receiving the player through the mouse click function

#12

For that you’ll need RemoteEvents.

#13

Like, there’s no need for it to run from client to server. ClickDetectors work Serverside I’m fairly sure.

#14

Okay, but can the issue with it being in the PlayerScripts be explained?

#15

only local scripts can run on a client, if you want the client to talk to the server, use a remote event.

What do you mean? Does the player count as like the client in Instance form?

#17

I believe that’s correct, so if you replace your code with the following and put the Script in ServerScriptService, you should get the desired effect.

game.Workspace.TemShop.InteractButton.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = TemShop.PlayerShopPosition.CFrame
	Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
	game.Lighting.ShoppingGui:Clone().Parent = Player.Character.Head
end)
