How do I run this LocalScript via this Script?

Hey there. Apologies, I am a beginner coder - and I am stumped. I’m trying to use this simple script (located in Workspace) to activate and run a LocalScript that is located in StarterGui for a dialogue system.

The Script in Workspace inside of a part:

local TouchEventOne =  game.Workspace.TouchEventOne



TouchEventOne.Touched:Connect(function(Object)
    if Object.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local player = game.Players[Object.Parent.Name]
		print("Dialogue One!")	
		dialogueone:Play()		
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)

The LocalScript in StarterGui I am trying to activate with the above:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local dialogue = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("DialogueBar").Dialogue


local function OnClient)
  print ("Dialogue One Starting!")
  dialogue.Visible = true
end

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(RemoteEvent)```


I am extremely stumped and would love to know the best way to continue from here. Is there a good method for doing this? I tried using a RemoteEvent and it didn't work for me. Thank you for taking your time to assist me!

So from what I’m getting, are you wanting to connect the RemoteEvent from the server to the client?

Exactly. Also, but each time I try and call it via the server - I don’t get a response, not even an error. I am extremely stumped.

I gotcha, well it’s actually pretty simple

So, if you’re wanting to fire the RemoteEvent that way we use the function that’s called FireClient which requires 1 argument for it to work:

  • The Player object (Or game.Players.MistahTwist for clarification)

Now you wonder, how can you get the Player a easier way? We can actually use the GetPlayerFromCharacter function which is basically what it is: Gets the Player object from a Character model so

local TouchEventOne =  game.Workspace.TouchEventOne
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

TouchEventOne.Touched:Connect(function(Object)
    if Object.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then 
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Object.Parent) --Since Object is the HitPart, we can use Object.Parent to get the Parent (Or the Character)
        if player then --This is checking if the player that touched the part is a valid Character model
        Event:FireClient(player) --We're passing the Player object onto this
	    	print("Dialogue One!")	
	    	dialogueone:Play()  --Idk what you defined what this is so I'll just leave it as it is
	    	script.Parent:Destroy()
        end
	end
end)

And on your LocalScript:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local dialogue = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("DialogueBar").Dialogue

local function OnClient()
   print ("Dialogue One Starting!")
   dialogue.Visible = true
end

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(OnClient)

I did rush a bit to get this working, but if you have any more questions just feel free to ask :sweat_smile:
