WHEN WORLD IS STARTED

When a script transfers ownership to a player, it automatically runs the “when world is started” event, and any event that was sent before or during the transfer is lost. This means that if a transfer of ownership occurs when a player either grabs or attaches an object, all events sent to self inside the grab or attach event will not be received. Events that are sent with delay during the transfer are also lost. And variables will be reset to their initial values during a transfer of ownership. Since the “when world is started” event runs during an ownership transfer, it is typically the event that transfers the ownership of objects referenced in the script to the owner of self.

CHECK IF OWNED BY PLAYER

The ‘server player’ value is a player value that identifies the server. It can be used to check if an object is owned by the server or by a player.
Limitations

LIMITATIONS

Player enter and player exit events are unable to run on local scripts. If a local script needs to receive an event when its owner enters the world, use a default script to receive the player enter event.
