What are Local and Server Scripts? - Roblox Scripting Tutorial

i saw this health gui in the tool box, and the ''read me'' script said to put the ''HealthGui_SetupScript'' in ServerScriptStorage, and I don't know where is the ServerScriptStorage

I have a question, I'm very new to coding and coding in roblox and I'm trying to make a hitbox, is their any way to send information/data from my local scripts to my server scripts?
I want the hitbox to be client side but the damage dealt and all of that other stuff to be server sided.
if I put the hitbox code in the server it has this awful delay.

simple explantion, Server scripts appear for everyone for example if you put a kill script in serverscript then it will appear for everyone. Local Script: it only appears for the client (your own self) for example if you open a shop gui only you can see not others.

this is well made for explaining

I know I'm a bit late, but I just wanted to ask how to communicate between Local and Server scripts? In GLua it's through "Net Messages" but I don't know about Roblox. Hopefully someone can reply.

If in normal scripts everybody can see properties changing
but local script only you can see it
so that means if you win a game of anything the reward comes from a local script or wat?

Server scripts: Shows on everyone’s screen, delete a part, the whole server sees the block deleted
Local script: Only u can see at, delete a block, only u see the block get deleted everyone else still has it and can see it

You should get more subscriber

Would a local script be used to make an item disappear for a character that clicked on it, but have it stay there for any other players until they also click on it? And if so, how would I go about doing this? I can get the disappearing function to work, but it makes it go away for all players.

Ok so i've made a local part using local script and also made regen button that was supposed to regenerate that local brick, but sadly - it didn't work. So here's my question, how to script the local part, how to execute it to work? Is there any tutorial for that?

inside a nutshell,
Server: Server scripts show to everyone when you run a script, for example, if you ran grab knife. since grab knife v4 is a FD, you would have to require it. (Which I did). When you require a script you turn it to Server or loadstrings are the same. FD scripts dont work now, but all other scripts that are server scripts, show to everyone.
Local: Local scripts are when a script only shows to the user, but it registers the command when you kill someone. So therefore, it kills them on their screen but it's like their resetting. This is why its different from Server side scripts, because Local scripts dont show to everyone.

I'm pretty late but, is there anyway to have a local script activate a script in workspace?

I have a script in a text label in startergui.. It is a local script. And I want the text label to be the value of a string value. And when I play in an actual server it doesn't work, but it does in roblox studio???
