How would you make a Combat System with different classes?

I’m working on a roblox project just for fun, and I wanted to make a Combat System.

I’ve done something similar before but since It was all handled by the server… somethings I disliked.

My main issue is… How would the game handle giving different moves/skills to each class?

Using UserInputService I can detect when the player presses a key, but how would I handle the action being different from pressing the same key with another class? And how would I transfer the info to the server? What would be the most efficient way?

I tried having different UserInputService LocalScripts, and cloning them to the player depending on which class they chose, but I remembered that cloning scripts into things is not usually a good idea.

(I hope I was able to explain what I'm trying to achieve correctly, it is complex)

I would highly appreciate some advice!

use ContextActionService:BindAction() and pass it to an action handler (either within the script itself or a ModuleScript placed somewhere in ReplicatedStorage) that defines what to do with different classes and stuff
to have it replicate to the server use RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions that a script in ServerScriptService listens to and handles appropriately

I see, I didn’t know about ContextActionService, I’ll look more into it, the hard part will be making use of a ModuleScript as even tho I do know how they work, im not sure how to use them in this situation
