Three objects: BindableEvent, Script and LocalScript.
I need the local script to fire the bindable event which can be detected from a server script like this:
BindableEvent.Fired:Connect(function()
-- code
end)
Is there ANY way this is possible?
This is not possible with BindableEvents. There is nothing in those that could replicate from the client to the server without being filtered. However, RemoteEvents are designed precisely for your use case. You can connect to the event on the server like so:
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, arg1, arg2) -- etc.
-- code
end)
And in a LocalScript, you can fire it like so:
RemoteEvent:FireServer(arg1, arg2) -- etc.
Note that firing from client to server, the server automatically fills in the player argument (it's the player who fired the event).
Further reading on RemoteEvents (Roblox Wiki)
if you want confirmation that this is not possible, please read the first paragraph on the roblox wiki page for bindableevents: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/BindableEvent
big thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, you want to detect when a remote event is fired on the server side?
