How would I loop a GetDescendants() loop?

@Crrustyy Is this script a Normal Script or a LocalScript?

#42

This script is a server script, the cloning script is a local script

#44 
for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		v.CastShadow = false
	end
end

function onTouched(hit)
	-- Do Stuff
end

while wait(0.1) do
	for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
				if v.Name == "Ending" and v:IsA("BasePart") then
					if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
						onTouched(hit)
					end
				end
			end)
		end
	end
end

How would this remote event take place/look like? I have made one but it doesnt work

#46

He can use WaitForChild(). It will wait until map will appear in workspace.

#47

From my understanding, if the script waits too long, it will say “Infinite yield possible”

#48

I have placed a script (shown below) inside the map, yet this still doesn’t work

function touched(h)
	local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("SpawnLocation")
	if h.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local humRoot = h.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		humRoot.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0))
		local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
		game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("NewLevel"):FireClient(plr)
		game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Reward"):FireClient(plr)
		h.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	else
		return false
	end
end

	script.Parent.Ending.Touched:Connect(function(h) 
		if h then
			touched(h)
		end
	end)

Why your script doesn’t work:

LocalScripts, the server cannot really see action done by these. The action the LocalScript is doing is cloning something. On the server, there is nothing cloned. The script is a Server-Script, so yeah. Your script basically works but it will never work as the server doesn’t know.

#50

Anyway what are you cloning btw?

#51

A map from Replicated Storage.

#52

Why are you using a LocalScript then? Are you trying to make the map only show for the client?

#53

I thought that by using a local script, only that one player can see the clone? That is what I am aiming for.

#54

Correct, but again that’s on the Client… the server doesn’t know that and the script that does something when touched is on the server

#55

How would I make a script, a server script, but only the one player sees the clone?

#57

All actions made by local script can see only player in who local script situated

#58

I think you should clone it from the server, then with a remote event, fire it to the client by doing :FireClient()

I am a bit rusty, so could you guide me as to where I should place the remote event?

#61

You can place it everywhere,but most people place it in rep. storage because local and global scripts can access this storage.

#62

So this is my current code in the local script.

Script 
local chosenMap = readyMaps[math.random(1,#readyMaps)]
local clonedMap = chosenMap:Clone()
clonedMap.Parent = game.Workspace
local mip = clonedMap.Name
rep.Start:FireServer()

function newLvl()
	clonedMap:Destroy()
	local newMap = readyMaps[math.random(1,#readyMaps)]
	local clone = newMap:Clone()
	clone.Parent = game.Workspace
	local mip = clone.Name
end

rep.NewLevel.OnClientEvent:Connect(newLvl)

How would I change this into a server side script?

#63

Oh, no I knew that.

Sorry, I meant where should I fire the remote event in the script.
