There’s two clear ways I know of: ModuleScripts and BindableFunctions.
You can fire a BindableEvent and have other scripts listen to that event. BindableFunctions are similar, but the syntax is a little different and they return a value like a function would.

Meanwhile, ModuleScripts are basically just tables with values and functions in them. For example:

local myModule = {}

myModule.value = "Hello World!"

function myModule.printValue()
    print(myModule.value)
end

return myModule

And then in a script:

local myModule = require(pth.to.myModule)

myModule.printValue() -- "Hello World!"
print(myModule.value) -- "Hello World!"

Obviously you can tell which one is my favourite.
