Does :LoadCharacter() work in localscripts?

I somehow remember about it not working in local scripts, but I am not sure. Just need a quick answer so I don’t have to rewrite my script :slight_smile:

#2

No it doesn’t
It can only be executed on the server

#3

Thanks, yet I really think roblox should remove that. It just makes me have to use :FireServer() :stuck_out_tongue:

#4

It won’t allow you to use it because some exploiters can mess around with it. The best choice for you is to create a RemoteEvent, fire it from the Client and use the function from the Server.

#5

If it were to work on the client then it would only be client-sided but if it were to be on the client AND replicate then it would be prone to exploiters. Just use remotes.

#6

Does this mean that if I put remoteEvents in a GUI, exploiters have access to it and can use :FireServer()? Do I have to put it in ServerStorage Instead?

#7

If you it inside ServerStorage then the LocalScript won’t have access to it. The best way is just to load your own Character so exploiters can’t abuse it.

#8

My question is, is it insecure to put RemoteEvents inside of Guis? Ts there a safe place for it if it isnt secure?

#9

RemoteEvents in guis are accessible by the client (exploiters) but you should really be using server-sided checks to make the remote safe
