Would a local script be able to receive a fired event from a server script?

This looting script I have makes it so that the loot cooldown applies to everyone. That’s why it uses a server script. The problem is that I want to add a GUI that shows that looting something like “Looting…” but I need it to be in a local script so that it doesn’t replicate to everyone else. I want to do that with remote events, but I’m not sure if they would work. Help?

yeah a server event can be fired to the client or vise versa

Yes, RemoteEvents would work for this. Specifically, you could investigate usage of :FireAllClients. FireAllClients ensures that all clients within the game receive all the information. Here is an example. Mind how weird this might look, I’m on mobile.

--server side
local Example = “hi”
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(Example)

-- client side

local function onFired(Variable)
   print(Variable)
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(onFired)
