What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I feel like there are a lot better ways of doing what you are trying to do.

when cloning from a client it clones just for that specific client, which means it won’t be on other clients and its not on the server

In a server script, you can use game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

Ex:

local Players = game:GetService("Players") -- Player service
local SS = game:GetService("ServerStorage") -- Server Storage
local ScriptToClone = SS:FindFirstChild("Control") -- The script that will be cloned

local function onPlayerAdded(player)

    local ClonedScript = ScriptToClone:Clone() -- Clones it and makes it a variable
    ClonedScript.Parent = player.PlayerGui -- Gives it to that player when they join (change to just player if you only want it in the player not gui)

end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

That would be a function that applies every time the player joins the game

Now I have no idea what your goal is and “control” can be completely unrelated, if you could explain the goal that’d be VERY helpful

Sorry about that - I did not describe my task well enough. I have edited the original post to describe my goal better.

This would not work as I want to put the script in PlayerScripts which is not accessible to the server.

Why? You need to put this in server script service for it to run I believe, cloning scripts from local scripts probably won’t work

  1. Won’t replicated to the cserver
  2. You can’t access ServerStorage from the client

Oh, I just realised I could use ReplicatedStorage rather than ServerStorage. I will close the topic now. Thanks for everyone’s help though. :slight_smile:
