Can I use .OnServerEvent() from a ModuleScript?
For example, considering the following code is inside a ModuleScript:
local RemoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game.Workspace)
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
print("Hello")
end)
Will it print "Hello" when I call :FireServer() on the RemoteEvent?

I don't currently have access to roblox studio, therefor I can't test it out. Le_Teapots 913 — 5y

Yes, as long as you require() the ModuleScript from a server script.
A ModuleScript cannot run without another script calling require() on it. Once it happens, it runs on the same peer it was required from.
So if you require it from a LocalScript, it will act like a localscript, meaning you can access LocalPlayer, FireServer(), etc.
However if you require it from a server script, it will act like a server script, meaning you can use OnServerEvent event and replicate stuff to all clients.
(Note when I say "act like a __ script", I don't mean stuff such as lack of Disabled property in ModuleScripts)
