So I’m working on a Golf With Friends remake on roblox but with a twist of making randomly generated obstacles and traps such as bananas that slip you, bombs that blow your ball away and stuff on the course to make it harder to complete, all randomly generated. But first I must begin with creating a golf with friends golf ball system.
I have done this successfully, however it only seems to work inside of Roblox Studio testing. Once I open up the game on the website and play, I can’t seem to move the ball. The way it works is you hold down right mouse button and drag to generate power, but nothing happens at all in the actual roblox game, but studios it’s perfectly fine.
Here are the Client Side for the system, and Server side. And then another server script for spawning the ball in.

Please someone explain how to fix this issue of the studio side working and actual game side not.
