Bindable Events and Bindable Functions are great for communicating between two different scripts, namely server sided scripts.
For example say I want to fire an event from Script A, and have it do something in Script B. Well, I can use Bindable Events to fire the custom event from script a with 'BindableEventName:Fire()' in Script A. Then, in Script B, I can write a function, and connect that function to the event with this:
BindableEvent.Event:connect(function()
print("Hello World")
end)
Bindable Functions act the same way, except instead of just firing an event, they will wait for the function in Script B to return a value. The catch is that unlike RemoteFunctions/RemoteEvents, BindableEvents/Functions can only communicate server-side or client-side, meaning they cannot be used to communicate server-client.
Remember though, you will have to index every BindableEvent/BindableFunction you use in your scripts.

*EDIT: Remote Events/Functions are different from Bindable events/functions in that Remote objects can interact between Server AND Client. They are very useful when FilteringEnabled is active.

Hope this helps! :)
