Quick question. If I do this...

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Parent = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

it places the character into the camera. I know that placing parts into a camera makes them 'local' with the player's computer and to me it would be logical that the same is true for the character since it's just a mass of parts.
The question is will it actually do it? Will it make you invisible to other players, AND will you still be able to control your character normally? If so, can you guarantee this?
I can't simply test that because it would require another player to tell me if they can see me or not.

Yes it should theoretically work. It will for sure make you invisible but I doubt any animation will work.

Well in Build Mode the animations are still working but if you're absolutely sure then I can theoretically allow 20 player servers with an all local game and still reduce the lag.

Local parts are not officially supported (so says the wiki) so you shouldn't really do that, but yeah since each client won't have to render 19 other characters then it should work. But there are server-side scripts in the character handling health and whatnot, so yeah.

I'm sure I can get around that issue if I really needed to. You wouldn't happen to be interested in a joint project would you?

No, because I'm probably going to end up quitting within 1 day, 2 days max

*Men in Black Neurolyzer targeting 5 years, 11 months, and 3 weeks*

You love Roblox. You will stay on Roblox because it is your home. You will join xiaoxiao181 in a Ro-Volution to create the most amazingly built First Person Shooter that Roblox has ever seen. Oh, and you will also give xiaoxiao181 a cheeseburger.

It only works when you use a casual tone, reading ' the most amazingly' made me lose any chance of hypnotising me

*Jedi Hands*

You will stay...


Oh come on rofl... There are very few people left in Roblox that actually care about the time and effort that goes into the game and are not satisfied with the rediculous pile of GUI dribbling from the backsides of the current game creators. All I see in the games pages are games copied from other players who have already quit, games that have too simple of gameplay and lack the immersiveness that games should have, and worst of all games that are falsely advertised. They have no originality.

You gotta stay! T_T

I'll get on my knees and beg ya... Pretty please with a mesh on top?
