Could you be more specific?

I mean, a regular script can have a function too right?

Lol, of course they have functions.

They work just like regular scripts, but they are client-side.

That means you can play sounds locally or manipulate a player's camera, but you can't access some server-side stuff, like the LoadCharacter method or the server's global table.

So if i make a local script and a player activates it, it will only occur on his screen?
