Yes. Multiple ways, you could use module scripts that can store info on what to run and call it from another script, or you could use a remote event. Remote events can be ran by something like this:
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Event
event:FireServer()
You can tell something to happen when this is activated by:
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Event
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
print("Event fired")
end)
Hope this helped!

Thanks!
Your only answer kinda really is RemoteEvents. You could use ModuleScripts but they are usually used for tables and must return one value.
You should try to learn on how they work by other people's posts and devforums, etc. The devhub can be confusing so I'll make an example for you.
--Client script (script in gui)
local lplayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Grab the player
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() --Let's say a play button is pressed
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(lplayer) --Send the player as a parameter
end)
--Serverscript
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, lplayer)
local TP = game:GetService("TeleportService")
TP:Teleport(1234567890, lplayer) --teleport the player who clicked the button
end)
