COMMUNITY QUESTION
How do I fire a remote event from ServerScriptService to a local script?

You can use :FireClient() to fire an event to a specific player
game:GetService("ServerScriptService").RemoteEvent:FireClient(player)
--Wherever the remote event is
The first parameter MUST be a player object in order for it to work
To appropriately engage this, you must establish a medium in which both ends of the network can access. The commonplace for RemoteEvent's is ReplicatedStorage when hoping to communicate between the Client & Server.
####If you already have an existing Remote designated within ServerScriptService, this will need to be moved as this container is inaccessible to the Client.
As usual, we use the :FireClient() method to send our data, subsequently using the .OnClientResponse signal to receive.

Also use RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() to listen for the event to fire.
