Run script from localscript

[dull ibex]

I have a localscript that makes three buttons for the player's UI and it runs a piece of code if the player selects a button. I want to run a different script inside a different part that damages a humanoid after the player selects one of the buttons. all I really need is the code for this. thank you for your help

[rough timber]

well couple thing you can do

first i would have preset scripts in each part

then when the button is clicked

just enable the script

I'm VERY new to scripting, so...idk how to do that ^^"

[rough timber]

well if you right click a script you can disable it right?

so do that to all scripts in this part for now

then

[dense oxide]

This is extremely shit way of doing it

[rough timber]

then use script.Enabled = true to enable it

[rough timber]

well they said there not very good at coding

but u can show them a better way

it works

[dull ibex]

oh- so how else do I do it..?

[rough timber]

there are many ways

[dense oxide]

Are they both local scripts?

[dull ibex]

one's a localscript since it's handling the UI. the other is a normal script

To communicate between local and server scripts you can use remote events

kk, thank you..!

@dense oxide I'm not understanding it

I can show you what I have so far in a little....

Script in the part that will hopefully be ran when the localscript runs:

local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")

-- Get reference to remote event instance
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChildOfClass("RemoteEvent")

local function DamageEnemy(player, damage)
    print(player.Name .. " fired the RemoteEvent")
    
    
end

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onDamageEnemy)```

The second half of the code in the localscript that I'll want to call the function:

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Right then
        selectionIndex = (selectionIndex % #options) + 1
        updateSelection()
    elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Left then
        selectionIndex = (selectionIndex - 2) % #options + 1
        updateSelection()
    elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
        if options[selectionIndex] == "FIGHT" then
            print("FIGHT option selected.")
(I WANT THE CALLING THE FUNCTION TO GO HERE!!)
            remoteEvent:FireServer()
            -- Add code to execute when FIGHT is selected
        elseif options[selectionIndex] == "PRAY" then
            print("PRAY option selected.")
            -- Add code to execute when PRAY is selected
        elseif options[selectionIndex] == "ITEM" then
            print("ITEM option selected.")
            -- Add code to execute when ITEM is selected
        end
    end
end)

updateSelection()
animateIcons()

in ReplicatedServerStorage I put a RemoteEvent called DamageEnemy
