I made a script for a readable book. When you click the book, the text in qoutations appear. It only works in Build (Solo) mode, but I need it to work in online mode. I posted the whole script below, so if anyone finds what's wrong, please tell me how to fix it.
function act()
state = not state
if state then
local h = Instance.new("Message")
h.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer
h.Text = "~Jeffrey's Journal~"
wait(3)
h.Text = "Day 1:"
wait(3)
h.Text = "I have come across"
wait(2)
h.Text = "a small, uncharted"
wait(2)
h.Text = "island. I don't know"
wait(2)
h.Text = "what is here, or if it"
wait(2)
h.Text = "is dangerous, but I"

h.Text = "feel a need to find"
wait(2)
h.Text = "out."
wait(2.5)
h.Text = "Day 2:"

h.Text = "I have found a small"

h.Text = "corner that seems"

wait(2)
h.Text = "some sort of wall."
wait(2.5)
h.Text = "Day 3:"
wait(3)
h.Text = "I made a fire and"
wait(2)
h.Text = "built a small wall"

LocalPlayer doesn't Exist in Online Mode... |

It actually exist, but you can only access to it using LocalScripts. |
|
|
|
|
You can't find the player that clicked the ClickDetector.
I would reccomend using a Touched event so you can find who touched it.
Also, LocalScripts only run in Players, Characters, and Tools/Hopperbins, so it would be pointless to do that. |
|
|
I'll make it a touched event, but it's a book on a table, so if anyone can tell me if there is a way to make it work by clicking, please tell me. |

Well....
There IS a way....
But it is kinda.... unreliable....
I need to know the name of your brick, though. |

Maybe you can drive my car! |

The name of the brick is ZReadable. |
|
|
Kinda late since he logged off... you could try looking for a pseudo clickdetector script in anaminus's models, I think he made one. |

That would error! =P you had one ',' too much in the table (at the end)

An extra , at the end doesn't change the outcome in a table. |

So.. uh.. which one works?

Being epic for over 6 minutes. |

Both should work. |
|
|
They didn't work, I'll try that Pseudo Click Detector thing. Also, I didn't quite understand what the "Book" was for, inform me? Thanks for helping so far though. |
|
|
I tried everything, I just can't get it to work. |

You might make it less complex and more interesting my creating a book GUI, the whole thing could be a nice decal, it's easier, simpler, and looks a lot better. |

Further more, you could make a simple "Hand" tool that opens the gui when the "Book" brick is clicked. Like a mystery game. Tools can easly be traced to a player.
Keep it simple.

I made a tool based tycoon :P but it's not finished yet. All I have is some income upgrades and a start for the actual tycoon thingy. |
|
|
But the reason i dont want to make a GUI out of it is becaue i want to use the same script other things, such as a click on a NPC's head will make it talk to you. |
