My local script isn't doing anything

[friendly_dude2018]

What do you want to achieve?

I am making a button that will generate something when clicked. I created a part, a surface gui in the part, a text button in the surface gui, and a local script in the button.

What is the issue?

While I was working on the local script, I realized that no matter what I typed in it, nothing happened.

What solutions have you tried so far?

I tried typing variables, events, functions, and print statements, but nothing popped up in the output. I even tried typing a bunch of jibberish to create an error, but no error was marked in the output. I don’t know how to fix this and I need help. Why isn’t anything happening?

The local script that was used.

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

print("testing testing 1 2 3")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	replicatedStorage.StarterSetupRegen:FireServer()
end)

Screenshot of the explorer.

When you play the game if you look in the explorer, is the script still there?

SurfaceGui’s and Billboard Gui’s are required to be attached to the player, aka needs to be inside of PlayerGui/StarterGui.

From there you can set the Adornee of the SurfaceGui to the part.

This should solve your issue!

LocalScripts can only work on the client, they start once they are loaded onto the client, so if they are in the workspace they will never start.

Yes, it’s still there and it’s in the same position too.

It’s like @realmile said, either change the LocalScript to a Script or it won’t work in the workspace
