How do I make this serverside?

#1

So I am currently struggling with a piece of my script, It works fine as it is, but when it adds the ‘deployable’, it will only show for the person that placed it (blah blah clientside)

Basically, I want the deployable to be serverside and show for everyone instead of the just the person who placed it.

It uses a local script inside a tool at the moment

local deployable = script.Parent
local deployed = false
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local OGpiece = game.ReplicatedStorage.LightStand
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Equip = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.LargeDeployableEquip)
local Idle = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.LargeDeployableIdle)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
deployable.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Equip:Play()
	wait(3.32)
	Equip:Stop()
	Idle:Play()
	
	deployable.Activated:Connect(function()
		runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
			local currentPivot = character:GetPivot()
		end)
		local currentPivot = character:GetPivot()
		local copy = OGpiece:Clone()
		copy:PivotTo(currentPivot * CFrame.new(0,0,-2))
		copy.Parent = workspace
		wait(.5)
		Idle:Stop()
		Equip:Stop()
		
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end)
end)

deployable.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Idle:Stop()
	Equip:Stop()
end)

There’s absolutely no way you can make a LocalScript serversided. The server just won’t replicate things unless it’s network ownership is set to said player, like a part.

A good way to accomplish this is with remoteevents. Have it done on the server, I would write the script for you, but I don’t really understand your code that well. Basically, Fire a remoteevent on the client, with all the data you need, and on the server, using a serverscript you can listen for when the remoteevent is fired using .OnServerEvent. Beware though, the first parameter is always the player that fired the event. Example:

-- client
event:FireServer(number)

-- server
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, number) end)

Do anything you know won’t replicate to everyone else on the server.

If it’s a tool it’s possible to use the events you wrote in your client script like so with a server script. But I’m not sure if that’s your best option. (Basically create a server script and add the activated event while also keeping the local script).

Edit:

Since you’re using RunService I suggest doing what @Den_vers just said. It’s not really recommended to use this function in a server script unless really needed (can cause accuracy issues).

Hm, I see that I have to use remoteevents, and I think I got the general idea, but how do i translate this

local currentPivot = character:GetPivot()
		end)
		local currentPivot = character:GetPivot()
		local copy = OGpiece:Clone()
		copy:PivotTo(currentPivot * CFrame.new(0,0,-2))
		copy.Parent = workspace

to the server script that fires when the remoteevent is fired?
it keeps giving me a bunch of errors, not sure how to fix it.

server script

game.ReplicatedStorage.DeployablePlaced.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, character, OGpiece, currentPivot)
	local copy = OGpiece:Clone()
	copy:PivotTo(currentPivot * CFrame.new(0,0,-2))
	copy.Parent = workspace
end)
