Why do my scripts not work in another place?

Im making scripts and tools in my own place, when I finish working on them I give them to my friend so that he can add them to his game. But for some reason, my scripts and tools dont work in his game they dont function at all.

#2

Could you take a screenshot of the output’s errors?

#3

You sure your friend put the scripts in the right place? You sure your friends did not name the tools different etc?

#4

He copied it exactly as I had it. Nothing was changed. They work perfectly fine in my place but when he tries in his game it doesnt even function

#5

There are no errors in the output

#7

can you show us the script and the tools? You sure your friend changed nothing?

#8

He just gave me a update, it works in studio but not in game

#9

Does yours work in game? It has to be your friend changed something or put the tools / scripts in the wrong place ( for example putting a gui in workspace )

#10

Mine works in game and in studio. His is only working in studio. There is only 1 script and its in the tool itself. He streamed it to me, nothing in the script nor did anything change with the tool in general

#11

This isnt the first time that something I’ve given him doesnt work.

#12

Does it have something to work with animations? Cus animations only work if you created it.

#13

It does have anims but he remade them. Would it possibly work if I get him to add me to the place and add the tool myself?

#14

No, you have to own the animation.

#15

This is a huge Roblox Engine problem, it happens to me too. Sometimes, out of the blue, my scripts stop working for a bit, then decide to error a little, then it works as intended again.

To answer your statement, ask your friend to copy the entire script, paste it into a new script, or copy the game and add it into a new experience.

So I cant add it in myself even though I made the animation

#17

You can’t, the animation has to be owned by the place owner which is your friend since he owns the place.

#18

try telling your friend to make an animation on a rig created by him and upload to the studio HIMSELF, and try changing the asset id to that animation to see if it works.

#19

So could I technically make it group owned animation by uploading it through the group?

#20

Animations don’t have to be owned to play them; If there is an animation instance where the script can access with the link, it can play it.
