Paint tool help / make it global visible

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    make that the paints that the players do show for all players not only local
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    idk how to do it, maybe with a remote event?
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    tried with remotes event
    After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

making it a normal script breaksthe code

#2

use a regular script, not local as local only does stuff that is client sided

Try firing an event every second or so to tell the server where you painted.
