Thanks Gnome! This really boosted my knowledge with local scripts! Excited for the module scripts!

Video summed up:
-Local script are mostly used for gui
-local scripts can only be used in some folders/services
-a local script only fires an event to a device, meaning if I were to click on a button, only my game(my device) would be changed, everyone else wouldn't be affected

Thank you for helping me understand local scripts. Sometimes when I watch YouTube tutorials, I am just confused why they use local scripts instead of basic scripts.

[mrminion]

This was actually really useful, and I can see a lot of ways I could use this!

6:52 the moment you simply put "workspace" as the beggining I understood what was I doing wrong.

my dumbass was trying to find an item from the workspace starting at script.Parent (the local script is in StarterGui)

[noreally]

I did it exactly as he did in the video and keep getting:
Entrance is not a valid member of workspace “Workspace”

This was useful, I've spent hours trying to figure out how to make a local script in a tool work for multiple players, but only the first player can use the tool. maybe this video will help me solve this.

[sephnx]

I do the exact same as you but get: Entrance is not a valid member of Workspace "Workspace"
