What's the difference between a local script and a script?

A local script can only access stuff that exists locally, such as the camera or mouse.

LocalScripts are generally utilized for client-sided functionality purposes. Server-sided scripts are utilized to affect the entire game.

Whenever you want to affect the mouse, camera, or Guis. ~ Who's awesome, you're awesome ~ R$81,911 Tx1,261

Also, don't make titles like that, we all find it annoying, try to ask the question in the title. ~ Who's awesome, you're awesome ~ R$81,911 Tx1,261
