Making A part in the character Visible to serverside with GUI button

Hello! I am trying to make a part on my character turn visible with a click of a GUI button.

while the script i have works, It is not Server-Sided and I need it to be! I know I need a Remote event and a server + client script, I just do not know how i would script the server side part.

I’ve tried to look around for answers but nothing I’ve found has really resembled my problem

here is my client script. (it may not be important but i am using a custom model!)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
repeat wait()
	character = player.Character
until character
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
playing = false

local function appear(object)
	if object and object:IsA("Model") then 
		for index, part in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do 
			if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
				part.Transparency = 0 
			end
		end
	end
end

local function dissapear(object)
	if object and object:IsA("Model") then 
		for index, part in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do 
			if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
				part.Transparency = 1 
			end
		end
	end
end
-- end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	local wingszom = character:FindFirstChild("zombie Wings")
	local tail = character:FindFirstChild("zombie tail")
		if playing == false then
			playing = true
		appear(wingszom)
		appear(tail)
		script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "Hide Wings"
		else
			if playing == true then
				playing = false
			dissapear(wingszom)
			dissapear(tail)
			script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "Show Wings"
		end
	end
end)

client side:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent
--RemoteEvent2 is to get change from server to change button text
local RemoteEvent2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent2

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
--this is to fire your click to the server
       RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)

RemoteEvent2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playing)
      if playing == false then
			playing = true
		script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "Hide Wings"
		else
			if playing == true then
				playing = false
			script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "Show Wings"
		end
end)

server side:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent
--RemoteEvent2 is to get change from server to change button text
local RemoteEvent2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent2
--your functions
local function appear(object)
	if object and object:IsA("Model") then 
		for index, part in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do 
			if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
				part.Transparency = 0 
			end
		end
	end
end

local function dissapear(object)
	if object and object:IsA("Model") then 
		for index, part in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do 
			if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
				part.Transparency = 1 
			end
		end
	end
end

--when click event fired
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    repeat task.wait() until character.Parent == workspace

   local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
   playing = false

local wingszom = character:FindFirstChild("zombie Wings")
	local tail = character:FindFirstChild("zombie tail")
		if playing == false then
			playing = true
            RemoteEvent2.FireClient(player, playing)
		appear(wingszom)
		appear(tail)
		
		else
			if playing == true then
				playing = false
                 RemoteEvent2.FireClient(player, playing)
			dissapear(wingszom)
			dissapear(tail)
			
		end
	end

This didn’t work for me, There is no errors so I’m not sure what’s wrong.

oh! sorry I didn’t have time to check my solution and made some typo mistakes. Copy now and it should work-

client side:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent
--RemoteEvent2 is to get change from server to change button text
local RemoteEvent2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent2

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	--this is to fire your click to the server
	RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)

RemoteEvent2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playing)
	if playing == false then
		playing = true
		--I think you should change text button text intead of texl label text. But if you want you can add it back
		script.Parent.Text = "Hide Wings"
	elseif playing == true then
			playing = false
			script.Parent.Text = "Show Wings"
		end
	end)

server side:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local playing = Instance.new("BoolValue", player)
	playing.Name = "Playing"
	playing.Value = false
end)

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent
--RemoteEvent2 is to get change from server to change button text
local RemoteEvent2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent2
--your functions
local function appear(object)
	if object and object:IsA("Model") then 
		for index, part in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do 
			if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
				part.Transparency = 0 
			end
		end
	end
end

local function dissapear(object)
	if object and object:IsA("Model") then 
		for index, part in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do 
			if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
				part.Transparency = 1 
			end
		end
	end
end

--when click event fired
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	
	local character = player.Character
	repeat task.wait() until character.Parent == workspace
	local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local playing = player.Playing

	local wingszom = character:FindFirstChild("zombie Wings")
	local tail = character:FindFirstChild("zombie tail")
	if playing.Value == false then
		playing.Value = true
		RemoteEvent2:FireClient(player, playing.Value)
		appear(wingszom)
		appear(tail)


	elseif playing.Value == true then
			playing.Value = false
			RemoteEvent2:FireClient(player, playing.Value)
		dissapear(wingszom)
		dissapear(tail)
	end
end)
