Hi there, is there a way to run the function without using Players.PlayerAdded:Connect because I don’t want to run the code when player joins. It runs the code wherever player touch the part. Use localscript to run won’t work becaause it have some datas and table in the script.
Any help would be greatly appreciated👏

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“RemoteEventTest”)

local function onPlayerAdded(player)

– Fire the remote event

remoteEvent:FireClient(player)

end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

from what i understand is that you dont want to use PlayerAdded to fire the client but to fire the client whenever they touch a part. well you can just simply add a script to the part then add these lines:

local Remote =  ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“RemoteEventTest”)
local part = script.Parent

part.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent) then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent)
Remote:FireClient(plr)
end
end)

yeah make it a server script inside the part
This using the Touched same as Mrchips script tho but i let the format here for you to be creative with it

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
   if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
      local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        --insert code
   end
end)

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RE = RS:WaitForChild("RemoteEventTest")
local Part = script.Parent
local Debounce = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Debounce then
		return
	end
	if Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) then
		Debounce = true
		local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
		RE:FireClient(Player)
		task.wait(5) --cooldown
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

Added a debounce to prevent the connected callback function from being executed too frequently.
