How do you know if the client has access to a workspace child?

I heard that you can define workspace children with LocalScripts only if the client has access to the child you’ll define … How do I know if the client has access to the child?

#2

BasePart:GetNetworkOwner() —> player instance or nil

???

Where should I write that code?

#4

From the server, I dont think this method can be called from local scripts

#5

If I wrote it, will the client have access to the instance I gave?

#6

Yes, through RemoteEvents, or through a reference of the part on the client

#7

Should it be something like this

BasePart:GetNetworkOwner(“Part”)

#8

No, closer to something like this:

local myPart = workspace.MyPart
print(myPart:GetNetworkOwner()) —> prints out the player instance which is simulating the part

Alright, I’ll do that.

Should it be on the command bar? or in a simple Script?

#10

Depends. The only instance I use this function is inside of a script if i’m checking for any randomly unanchored parts, which exploiters are able to set the position of.
