Client to Client function/events?
I am trying to make a custom private message chat by using remote/bindable events/functions. The only problem is, which one is great for only client to client data transferring.
Each of the players will have a localscript and a event. Both players localscripts are the same and the way I'm trying to communicate is like so.
Player 1 made the pm and Player 2 accepts the pm Player1 sends a message which goes into Player2.Event:Fire and Player2's localscript is responsible for showing the data. Player2 sends a reply which goes into Player1.Event:Fire and Player1's localscript is responsible for showing the responce data.
Which remote/bindable events/function should I use for this purpose? The wiki does not show the recommendations for each API.

I would recomend making a Message Manager script in ServerScriptService with RemoteFunctions (Local Script to Regular Script). This would work as follows:
--Player 1 Sends Message --Player 1 Local Script activates remote function --In MessageManager, Variables (Recepient Name and Message) are taken from the RemoteFunction --Message is sent to Player 2 --Player 2 Responds --Repeat
If you would like to read up on Remote Functions, Here is the wiki page.
