Why does my script only seem to affect one player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

this localscript is located in starterplayerscripts and when you enter a part called Fog it effectively makes everything foggy
but when i tested with another player it only worked for him and not me
im not sure why

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local regionPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Fog")
local size = regionPart.Size * 0.5
local pos = regionPart.Position

local region = Region3.new(pos - size, pos + size)

while true do
	RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
	if not char then
		char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	end
	local condition = #workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithWhiteList(region, {char}) > 0 
	char:WaitForChild("theFog").Value = condition and true or false
	--Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = condition and 0.75 or 0
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Lighting.Atmosphere, TweenInfo.new(1), {Density = condition and 0.75 or 0}):Play()
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Fog"), TweenInfo.new(1), {Volume = condition and 0.8 or 0}):Play()
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Background"), TweenInfo.new(1), {Volume = condition and 0 or 1}):Play()
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(game.Lighting, TweenInfo.new(1), {ClockTime = condition and 0 or 14}):Play()
end

The problem is because it’s a LocalScript. LocalScripts are used to affect one player while “ServerScripts” or “Scripts” influence everyone.

#3

hm, how might i make this work for everyone?

#4

Make it a script and put it in the ServerScriptService or Workspace.

#5

will there be a problem with using local player?

#6

Can you also make a video showing me how the system works, because Scripts usually need modifications.

#7

absoultely give me one minute to show you

#8

Yes, Local Player works only for local scripts, in ServerScripts there are other methods to find players.

#10


and it should only fog for that player also

#11

So, you want to make a part and when a player gets through it everything becomes foggy for everyone right?

#12

yes, but it should only appear foggy for anyone who is actually inside the part, and when you leave it will unfog

#13

Can you also send me the clip where it doesn’t work for the other player?

#14

it seems to be working in studio but not in roblox

#15

ive got one of my friends on and the fog isnt working for either of us

#16

im not sure how i can record his pov

#17

now its working in roblox aswell
its like random it will or wont

#18

now its not
we just died in the fog and it stopped alltogether

#19

I think you should try adding task.wait() here because loops can’t be played so many times without a break.

while true do
task.wait(1)
	RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
	if not char then
		char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	end
	local condition = #workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithWhiteList(region, {char}) > 0 
	char:WaitForChild("theFog").Value = condition and true or false
	--Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = condition and 0.75 or 0
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Lighting.Atmosphere, TweenInfo.new(1), {Density = condition and 0.75 or 0}):Play()
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Fog"), TweenInfo.new(1), {Volume = condition and 0.8 or 0}):Play()
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Background"), TweenInfo.new(1), {Volume = condition and 0 or 1}):Play()
	game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(game.Lighting, TweenInfo.new(1), {ClockTime = condition and 0 or 14}):Play()
end
