Does Roblox enforce that LocalScripts in StarterCharacterScripts only run for my LocalPlayer?

I have a very fundamental question..
If i put a sprint script in StarterCharacterScripts It gets replicated into every character.

Supposing im player A. From my POV this script gets replicated into my character model AND ALSO Player B's character model.
So then when I press shift so print, how come only my speed changes?

I tested by adding a print("I am working") into the first line of the script.
This line only runs once. I would expect it to run as many times as there are players right?? Everytime a new player joins, and the script is added to their character, this print statement should run right? in theory??

Since from my POV (player A) this script exists under each player character model?

It basically comes down to Execution Context.

Even though that script is inside every character, a LocalScript only actually runs for the person who owns that character. So your computer sees the script inside Player B, but it just ignores it because you aren't Player B.

That is why you only see the print once your computer only executes your version of the script. Player B sees the print on there screen too, but you can't see their output log!

Also, you have 'Network Ownership' over your own character, which is why you can change your own speed but the script doesn't try to touch anyone elses speed.

Yeah, experimentation validates this..
I'm just surprised this distinction is not explicitely stated anywhere in the roblox docs

This is made even more confusing by the fact that a normal script with the runcontext set to client, DOES not do this.
It absolutely runs for every instance, regardless if it is in another player's character

iF ur problem/post is solved please add the solve tag

[merry creek]

yeah i understood that but that is what caused the confusion.
If a local script can only run if it is under my player's character, then why does it even bother to get replicated under other clients characters.

The fact that it did get replicated under other characters models but didn't actually run caused the confusion

Yeah cuz local scripts only see the local client and also the server somewhat with remote functions
