How to disable a players chat from a server script to a local script?

Hello.
I’m having a problem on deciding how to make this work. So basically, this “entity” teleports a player when that player chats a specific word in the chat box. After that, I want the player to not be able to talk until they reset. How would I go on achieving this? I want to use SetCoreGuiEnabled but I am not sure how to implement it into the script.
Here is my server script:

local triggerwords = {"SCP2521", "SCP-2521", "2521", "2 5 2 1", "SCP 2521", "Twenty Five Twenty One", "Two Five Two One","TwoFiveTwoOne", "TwentyFiveTwentyOne", "TwoThousandFiveHundredTwentyOne", "Two Thousand Five Hundred Twenty One"} --table of trigger words
local Occupied = false

function clone()
	local SCP2521 = game.ServerStorage.SCP2521:Clone()
	SCP2521.Parent = game.workspace
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		for i = 1, #triggerwords do --I don't know how to use ipairs and pairs
			local word = triggerwords[i]
			local matchcheck = string.match(msg, word)
			if matchcheck ~= nil and Occupied == false then
				Occupied = true
				if word == "SCP2521" or "SCP-2521" or "2521" or "2 5 2 1" or "SCP 2521" or "Twenty Five Twenty One" or "twenty five twenty one" or "Two Five Two One" or "two five two one" or "TwoFiveTwoOne" or "twofivetwoone" or "TwentyFiveTwentyOne" or "TwoThousandFiveHundredTwentyOne" or "Two Thousand Five Hundred Twenty One" then
					local victim = plr.Character
					clone()
					victim.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
					victim.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
					wait(math.random(2,5))
					workspace.SCP2521.PlayAnimation.Disabled = false
					workspace.SCP2521.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = victim.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
					local Scream = workspace.SCP2521.Head.Scream
					wait(3.04)
						victim.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.SCP2521.TakenSpot.CFrame
					wait(1.01)
					Scream:Play()
					wait(.2)
					victim.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.TeleportPartToGlitchedReality.CFrame
					victim.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
					victim.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 7.5
					workspace.SCP2521:Destroy()
					wait(1)
					Occupied = false
				end
		end
		end
		end)
	end)

You cannot implement SetCoreGuiEnabled into this script. You need a LocalScript for that. You can either clone one or have a RemoteEvent to fire.

#3

I know, but I am not sure how to carry the player variable from the server script to the local script.

#4

Using RemoteEvent:Fire() from a LocalScript and RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(_, yourvariable)end).

#6

The _ is a placeholder because it sends the player anyways.

#7

I know. But you need to use _ as a first parameter only if you need something different than player.

You don’t need to pass the player object of the client you’re firing, local scripts can fetch the local player by indexing the LocalPlayer property of the player’s service.
