Hi everyone,

How should I go about making a player have a instance of Lighting for when they're in a cave, but a different instance of Lighting when they're outside?

Turn on FE.

Make a function that runs everytime they move. If they are in a certain Vector3 region, make the client (using a local script) have a different lighting. Then add an else statement which changes the lighting back to normal.

Ok, I didn't want to have to, but I think it's for the better. I'll use FilteringEnabled, but I need to understand if using Localscripts with it on will act differently.
Is there anything specific I need to be aware of when FE is on?

FE prevents data from the clients to replicate to the server.

In addition to OAuth2, if you want the clients to replicate to the server, you must use remote events or remote functions.

"if you want the clients to replicate to the server,"

Could you emphasize what this means?

Basically, any changes you do on a server/other clients, other clients cannot see this change. It's like having your own world. This is to prevent hackers from deleting stuff, changing data, etc.

This is also useful for local objects. Replicating a house from a client to the server, only you can see the house.

Consider checking the link I responded with earlier.

Let's say if FE was off and there was a local script in the player's backpack that created a part in workspace everytime the client clicked on their mouse, it would work.

BUTTTTT, if FE was on, the code wouldn't run because the client can't change the server in anyway. It would have to use a remote event or remote function.

What I don't think you understand is what 'replicate' means. If there server was to replicate to the client, it would change something only to that client, nothing else. If the client was to replicate to the server, the client would change something in the server which affects everyone as they are replicated from the server.

Bad people replicate to the server to do the bad things.

Lol me and Auth are posting at the same time.

Ok, so if I were to change something in the server by a regular script, that change would affect ALL clients, but if I used a local script to change something in the server, it would only affect that client, not the server or any other clients.

If that is the case, I need to use remove events and functions so that a client can manipulate the server?

If so, how would I do that for simply inserting a brick above the client's character's head via local script?

You're pretty much on point.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=RemoteFunction_and_RemoteEvent_Tutorial

Here's a tutorial on how to do it.

#code -- Inside Server Script
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Remote Event") -- Get's the event object
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function() -- define the function that will be called when the event is fired
local part = Instace.new("Part", workspace")
--[[Weld the part to the clients head. But it's too long to type here.
Make sure to use a module script! ]]
end)


#code --[[ Inside Local Script
Let's make a part spawn on the player's head when they click anywhere
]]
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Remote Event"):FireServer()
end)

Inside the server script,
Line 5,
Add a space after '--[[' to make '--[[ '

This will fix the code so that 'end)' isn't a comment at line 7.

One question, I don't know where to put the remote event.

Here's what I did,

I put the local script code into a local script in StarterPlayerScripts

I put the server script code into a regular script in ServerStorage

I put an instance of 'RemoteEvent' into ReplicatedStorage

Here's what I'm getting as output:

19:02:48.598 - Infinite yield possible on 'ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remote Event")'


What's up? What goes where?

WaitForChild("RemoteEvent"), not "Remote Event".

Fixed that, doesn't do anything, I changed it so the server would print out 'clicked' and it won't display anything in the output
