I need to know right now what in gods name is wrong with tools. Every time I test one of my tools in studio's delightful play solo mode, my tools that I made work. Now to the point... I am making a new game called Delivery, which is in Development Version 6.0.0 right now, and obviously a game is not right when it has no tools right. Anyways, I made a tool that picks up filled part boxes when you click on a filled box you want to pick up, well that doesn't work in a server. Everytime I test in play solo mode it works. Now clearly, I'm not stupid so I know there is nothing absolutely nothing wrong with the script. But what is happening because I told myself I would get this place into alpha by the end of march break, I'm sitting here at my computer wondering what the heck I'm going to do next, because in order for me to keep working on the game I need this tool to work. The same thing has happened to my group shotgun that I made. It works in play solo in studio but not in a server. If anyone can help me with this issue, please do! Like I keep saying, The administrators are Breaking roblox!

You have a server-side/local synchronization problem. If you have a bindable event firing something on the server side from the local script then you need to use a remote event instead. ~Expect the worst and let the best come as a surprise~

I'm sorry, but what is a server side local synchronization problem. And what do you mean by remote. I hate to come across as a novice scriptwriter but I'm still not that great with lua.

this is the script local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent local mouse = player:GetMouse() wait(5) function Pickup1() if mouse.Target ~= nil then if mouse.Target.Name == "FullChassisBox" then mouse.Target:remove() local tl = game.Lighting.FullChassisBox1:Clone() tl.Parent = player.Backpack tl.Name = "Full Chassis Box" end end end mouse.Button1Down:connect(Pickup1)

nvm fixed it, apparently tools only work with local scripts now due to an exploit for stealing places that revolved around tools
