Are remote events inside a tool a good idea?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ok so heres my question, So ive been working on this combat game and I wanna make a new engine that fixes a bunch of messy horrible code, So the game has 3 mechanics: Block, Shove and Light/Heavy Hit, So I need obviously remote events for this kinda thing to work, And I was wondering what would be more efficient since im not a great organizer to be honest.

So number 1
I put the remote events in replicated storage and let a player fire the actions from there and perform everything through there with the player that was sent

Number 2
Put the remote events inside the tools with the listeners and this way i can just do everything easily

I would have to say yes. If you are not a great organizer I would prefer putting remote events into tools.

Yeah but heres the thing, If I put remote events wouldnt this just create unecesary many scripts, and roblox encourages devs to use as less scripts as possible.

The reason why I am asking this is because I have 2 mayor issues rn, So one is using less scripts, 2 is making everything more organized, And while I could use a module script on my scripts inside the tools something tells me this is just something devs wouldnt do for some reason, Altho there is advantages
For example I can load the animation tracks from the listener script inside the tool so this way I dont have to figure out a mega complex way to save animation tracks from diff players who fired the remotes on replicated storage if i were to put them in there, And also I can check the ammount of times the remote event is fired wich makes a solid thing for anti cheat

Scripts use literally 0 space, they don’t really affect anything, as well as the fact if one thing in a script doesn’t work, nothing else in the script after it works. The short answer, yes, you can use RemoteEvents inside a tool. Is it recommended? No, but if it is necessary, then do it.

I will have to say 1 or 2, it’s really hard as I have done both methods. However you can keep it more organized by using a 1 remote with an argument for the remote’s name or whatever. I wouldn’t really recommend 2 tho.

Example

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.Event:FireServer("yes", arg1, arg2, arg3)

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(event, arg1, arg2, arg3)
	if event == "yes" then 
		print("yes")
	elseif event == "somethingelse" then
		print("somethin else")
	end
end)
