Code Works in Studio, but not In-game

Hello there!
So, I’m trying to make a unioned box containing 6 parts, and I have a script where when the box is clicked, it fades out. It works perfectly in Studio, but not in-game. I need help!

local Present = script.Parent.Parent

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	for i = 0, 10 do
		Present.Union.Transparency = Present.Union.Transparency + 0.1
		wait()
	end
	Present.Union.CanCollide = false
	Present.Tag:Destroy()
	Present:Destroy()
end)

Present is a model with a union inside of it.

Is there any errors, maybe a wait for child is needed.

#3

No errors. It stopped working in studio now, too. Where would I add in the wait for child?

#4

try adding prints throughout the script and test it in-game to see which part of the script is working and which isnt so its easier to fix.

#8

I would add in :WaitForChild to the local Present = script.Parent, right? Also, I found out that it works when it is in workspace, but I’m trying ot get it to be parented to workspace from server storage when I click a button, and that’s when it breaks.

#9

i dont think you need the waitforchild for local Present = script.Parent.Parent but try putting the object in replicated storage instead and cloning it from there instead of sever storage? i dont use server storage since it sometimes bugs out when i try cloning from there.

#10

I tried moving it to Replicated Storage, it didn’t work. I added the wait for child parts, and it still didn’t work.

#11

I cant debug this as you haven’t provided enough information on the context of your script

Its worth noting that a Server Script, will only run in the following contexts

  • A descendant of Workspace
  • A descendant of ServerScriptService
  • A descendant of Player*
    *This behaviour is a bit wacky and is unreliable, it’s best practise outside of tools to use localscripts when dealing with players
#12

does the script still print anything when you clone it and click it? and is it still giving no errors?

#13

No errors. It works just fine in workspace, but not when I clone it from anywhere.

#14

can you add your script thats used to clone it?

#15

Okay I want to suggest something, I’m not saying you should do this but, if you’re using this how I think you’re using this, it will get unmaintable VERY quickly.

Consider looking into CollectionService

The tags are saved to files when you add them in Edit mode.
