Running LocalScript in LocalPart

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’ve got a brick that I’ve created using a localscript so that each player sees there own part. At the moment all I want to do is to change the colour of that part after 5 seconds of it being created but the Localscript I have inside of the part isn’t doing anything once it gets moved to Workspace. Any ideas?

#2

Local scripts don’t run in workspace.

#3

so no local scripts directly tied to a part in workspace will run, to run a script from a public space you need to use a regular script

#4

local scripts dont run inside workspace…
I recommend putting a cloned script inside the player when the block is created… this allows for it to change color on client while also having it run.

#5

I also tried using a regular script but I’m assuming because the part is local it won’t run.

#6

Sorry could you expand on this? I’m not entirely sure what that is suggesting.

#7

Can you explain what you mean by local part, I assume you mean a part created by the client?

#8

Yeah sorry I thought that was what they were referred to as.

#9

so then what you’re gonna want to do is run whatever script you want from a local script in a local space ie StarterCharacterScripts, Starter Gui, etc

#10

Put a server script inside the part so that when the part is moved to the workspace this server script is executed and will manipulate the part as desired.

#11

When you create the part do something like this:

local tempPart = Instance.new("Part", workspace) -- or maybe the clone function
spawn(function()
 task.wait()
 -- color change code
end)

LocalScripts don’t run in workspace.

Definition: A LocalScript is a Lua source container that runs Lua code on a client connected to a Roblox server. They are used to access client-only objects, such as the player’s Camera . For code run through LocalScripts, the LocalPlayer property of the Players service will return the player whose client is running the script.

--local script inside StarterPlayerScripts
local part  = Instance.new("Part", workspace)--creates a part on the client
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")--or whatever color you want
