Putting Objects Into ServerStorage After Input

[8ntlers (antlers lol)]

I want to put a few objects into ServerStorage after the player clicks the play button.

I used a code, that I was sure would work, but there were no errors, and it just didn’t do anything.

There are no errors, so I don’t know what to look for.

Here is my very beginner code.

local storage = game.ServerStorage
local player = game.StarterPlayer

local gui = game.StarterGui
local mapFolder = game.Workspace.Map --the folder where all the map objects are in

gui.ScreenPlay.PlayBtn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(MouseBtnClick) --playbutton clicked
	print("PlayClicked")
	mapFolder["Misc."].MenuKid.Parent = storage
	mapFolder["Misc."].Ball.Parent = storage
	mapFolder["Misc."].SmokeParticle.Parent = storage
	--putting all the objects i want gone into storage.
end)

I’m not sure what to do, thank you.

I am assuming that this is a LocalScript. That means that all this is processed by the client, which cannot access some server-sided services, such as ServerStorage and ServerScriptService. That is why you cannot move instances inside those services, because the client has no access to them.
If this was a localscript, I would advise you to move your instances to ReplicatedStorage, which is a shared service with the Server, but that players have access to.
If this is a serverscript, I wouldn’t use MouseButton1Click on a server script, so you will probably have to use remoteevents with both a localscript receiving the Mousebutton1click event and firing the remote event and a serverscript to receive that remote event and handle the instances re-parenting.
Hope this helps!

If this is in a local script you cannot set things to ServerStorage due to the fact that the server is protected, the client cannot access it.

If this script is not in a local script, it needs to be as the client is the only one with access to user input.

You should also be implementing better practices while scripting like using game:GetService() instead of referencing a service directly.

Example:

local storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

Also why are you trying to store these objects? Why not clone them when they are needed and then when not needed just get rid of them? Either through :Destroy or DebrisService

I tried using Destroy but it didn’t. Still no errors, and it’s in a local script.
