Can you fire a remoteevent from a local script to another local script?

Is it possible?

Well that’s pretty straight-foward. BindableEvents / Functions can work between LocalScripts as well as ServerScripts, both LocalScripts will just need a reference to the same BindableEvent. I would insert it into ReplicatedStorage, so that LocalScripts can access it easily.

Here is an example where one LocalScript gives another LocalScript a message to print out:

-- LocalScript 1
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local bindableEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BindableEvent")
bindableEvent:Fire("Hello, world!")

-- LocalScript 2
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local bindableEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BindableEvent")

local function OnEvent(message)
    print(message) --> Hello, world!
end

bindableEvent.Event:Connect(OnEvent)

Works fine for me. You probably did something incorrect.

I believe it is partly my fault since I didn’t specify the event won’t connect instantly. If you are not firing it immediately then you can leave out the task.wait().
