Client Script

LocalScript (Client Script)

Empty

A LocalScript is a piece of code that runs only on the player's computer (client).

Empty

It deals with things specific to the local player, like user interface interactions, camera controls, and effects that don't need to be seen by everyone.

Empty

User Interface (UI) Interaction	Updating or interacting with GUI elements

Player Input	Player inputs such as keyboard, mouse, or gamepad events.

Local Effects	Visual or audio effects that are specific to the local player

Local Data Handling	Local settings or preferences, inventory management

Empty

Responsiveness	Runs on the client, which makes it much more responsive to the player's actions. The delay is minimal as it does not require communication with the server for detecting the input.

Efficiency	Handles the event locally, reducing the load on the server, which is particularly important in games with many players.

-- Script in ServerScriptService

-- Get the RemoteEvent
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local givePointsEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GivePointsEvent")

-- Function to handle the remote event
local function onGivePoints(player, points)
    -- Add points to the player's leaderstats
    local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if leaderstats then
        local score = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Points")
        if score then

            print(player.Name .. " received " .. points .. " points!")
        end

-- Connect the function to the OnServerEvent of the remote event
givePointsEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onGivePoints)
