How To Rotate A Part For Client Only
#2

Hello.
You can rotate part in direction you want but in localscript it will be only for client.
That meanns only player will see it

local speed = 5 
local Part = workspace.Part
while wait() do
Part.Orientation = Part.Orientation += speed
end

Hope it helps!

You can’t effect a part in the workspace through a local script you will need to use a remote event to do that.

local Part = workspace.Part
local RemoteEvent = Part.RemoteEvent
RemoteEvent:FireServer()

Then in the server script

local Part = workspace.Part
local RemoteEvent = Part.RemoteEvent

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function())

	while true do 
	wait() 
	Part.CFrame = Part.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, 0, math.pi/35)
	end

end)

Place the first local script anywhere in the player, (StarterGui)
The RemoteEvent in the part in the workspace
The Second script should go in the ServerScriptStorage.

Any further assistance, just leave a reply.

Sorry I’m a bit confused.

What do I put in the local script and where do I place it?
What do I need to put in the server script and where do I place that?

If it’s on a LocalScript, be sure it will only fire on the client.
But, you may use RunService so it’s fires faster.
For instance:

local part = script.Parent;

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local function render_Stepped()
	
	local rotationAdd = 1
	
	part.Orientation = Vector3.new(tonumber(part.Orientation.X), tonumber(part.Orientation.Y) + tonumber(rotationAdd), tonumber(part.Orientation.Z))
end

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(render_Stepped)

-Copy the first bit of code into a local script.
-Then put that local script into the PlayerScripts

-Put the second piece of code into a normal script .
-Then put the script into the ServerScriptStorage

Instead of

Part.Orientation = Part.Orientation += speed

It should be just

Part.Orientation += speed

Or

Part.Orientation = Part.Orientation + speed

(Though it will work, it’s unnecessary to assign the value like you did.)

Why add the while wait() do loop? It should work just fine with the RenderStepped.

Whoops! My mistake, I didn’t write that code on studio so I couldn’t really see that mistake.
