Passing a variable into a local script with a remote event

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

its on a click detector thats the thing, i dont really use remote events that much so idk

#22

i see, maybe click it a bit later when everything lloads- WAIT WAIT

#23

by doing what i said here, converting it to text based on the choice, either on the client or server

#24

omg i just remembered localscripts cannot access server containers like serverscriptservice

#25

thats why it appears as nil on the client bcz they cant access it, put it in repstorage or something

#26 
local serverstorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local DisastersFolder = serverstorage:WaitForChild("Disasters")
local Disasters = DisastersFolder:GetChildren()
local button = script.Parent
local DisastersInProgress = workspace.Map.DisastersInProgress
local clickdec = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local db = false

clickdec.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	if db == false then
		local count = #Disasters
		db = true
		local choiceindex = math.random(1, count)
		local choice = Disasters[choiceindex]
		game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").DisasterGUI:FireAllClients(choice.Name)
		task.wait(5)
		choice.Parent = DisastersInProgress
		task.wait(10)
		choice.Parent = serverstorage
		db = false
	end
end)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local StarterGui = player.PlayerGui
local Text = StarterGui.TextGui.DisasterText
local DisasterGui = repstorage.DisasterGUI

DisasterGui.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(choice)
	print(choice)
	Text.Text = "Chosen Disaster:"..choice.."."
end)```
#27

could i do it like this

clickdec.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
if db == false then
local count = #Disasters
db = true
local choiceindex = math.random(1, count)
local choice = Disasters[choiceindex]
local c = nil
if choiceindex == 1 then
c = “Laser”
end
print(choice)
game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”).DisasterGUI:FireAllClients(c)
task.wait(5)
choice.Parent = DisastersInProgress
task.wait(10)
choice.Parent = serverstorage
db = false
end
end)
