muted lily arent localscripts themselves client sided?

Me and Harv are very very new at scripting but I will try my best to explain the issue.

Harv is currently trying to make a cutscene that will trigger when a player touches a part. The cutscene has been made using the Otaku plugin.

For a minute the code worked. It was tested on a backup account and it played for the roblox user. But suddenly when Harv went into the game today and tested it, the code did not work at all. I can send over what harv had in the script if it helps identify the issue. We are both trying to figure it out but are very lost on what happened

ok

#

whats the otako plug tho?

ok this part disturbed me, but the implementation for the wait function can just be entirely replaced with task.wait()

Noted!

glacial quail Jul 16, 2025, 7:53 PM

#

okay so

#

for the script theres no issues until i add a touch dialogue to it

#

then when i do

#

for some reason

#

itll stop working

#

for no entire reason

#

client sided itll work

#

but if i do an actual game

#

itll stop working

glacial quail Jul 16, 2025, 7:56 PM

no

#

since

#

i dont want the cutscene to loop

#

i think it has something to do with

muted lily Jul 16, 2025, 7:57 PM

#

is the flaw in

if PlayOnPartTouch then
    local part = script.PlayOnPartTouch.Value
    if part and part:IsA("BasePart") then
        part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            if hit.Parent == Player.Character then

also this title is really confusing

"local script stops when it isn't client sided"
local scripts only function by the client

What would be a better way to describe the issue? Again we’re pretty new so we will have a lot of lingo incorrect lol😭

glacial quail Jul 16, 2025, 8:01 PM

#

like studio sided

#

like itll only work if i do it

#

not

#

orhers

pearl elbow Jul 16, 2025, 8:01 PM

so if harv does it, then it works

#

by harvs client

pearl elbow Jul 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

Yeah

muted lily Jul 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

and if anyone else does it

#

it doesnt work

pearl elbow Jul 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

Yes

muted lily Jul 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

by harvs client

#

or are you inspecting the other users' clients?

pearl elbow Jul 16, 2025, 8:04 PM

#

We had another person test the cutscene yesterday and it seemed to have triggered for them and worked, but today it has gone right back to the issue that we had prior. It’s only playing for harv again. If I were to hop onto the game and try to trigger the cutscene it wont work for me. It’ll only do it for harv. We’re trying to fix it so that anyone who plays the game and reaches that specific section of the game can see the cutscene

#

If it adds any context (idk if it does LOL) its kind of a singleplayer story game

muted lily Jul 16, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

is StopOnRemoteEventFire being called?
and why is there 2 of them

#

one will be destroyed, then you will be indexing nil with Value

thats how the script was

do you want me to try and remoce it

glacial quail Jul 16, 2025, 8:10 PM

it worked again but then stopped

add a remote event in replicated storage

glacial quail Jul 16, 2025, 8:14 PM

i also have a theory

#

that the script doesnt load into to the game fast enough

muted lily Jul 16, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

glacial quail that the script doesnt load into to the game fast enough

nononono

#

inside of playcutscene(), call the remote event

#

like

[path_to_remote_event]:FireServer()

#

replace [path_to_remote_event] ofc 😭

#

and in a server script

#

UMMM'

#

ok

muted lily Jul 16, 2025, 8:18 PM

glacial quail im a little lost.,,, sorry im new to this

since this is a singleplayer game

#

its not important if anyone else sees the cutscene

#

your on your own in these games

#

localscripts have as large power as server-sided scripts

#

theres no issue dw

glacial quail Jul 16, 2025, 8:19 PM

#

okay

#

so

#

why doesnt it work

#

for other players

#

because

#

when im testing the game on studio

#

it works

#

but if i go into an alt

#

and test the game

#

it doesnt wanna work
