I am making a live event, when it starts I want to fire a local script to all players, in a script. Can I call the local script and will execute on all clients?

In this case it is a cutscene local script.

You can use RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(…) and have the cutscene localscript listening to that RemoteEvent (RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent)

#4

In the (…) aka … is that where the localscript is

#5

that’s where you put any parameters you need

#6

You can call Remote:FireAllClients() and call any callback on the client alongside a listener.

 -- server
 RemoteEvent:FireAllClients()

 -- client
 
 local function OnClient()

 end

 RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(OnClient)

There is a way to do so, and it’s by using something called a RemoteEvent.

In the ServerScript, you can call RemoteEvent:FireAllClients() which will fire a remote event to all clients (all players) in the game. Make sure that you either have a variable for RemoteEvent or you reference to it in your :FireAllClients() line.

In your LocalScript, you will have to write what you want to happen when the client event is fired. The way you would do so is by doing something such as:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

local function liveEvent() -- you can change the name of the function to whatever you want.
-- write code that you want to be run when the event is fired inside here.
end

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(liveEvent) -- make sure the function name inside the () matches the function name from above.

Hopefully this was helpful.
