What function would I use to access a value from another player?

I have a button that allows you to challenge a player that you want to play against. Everything works fine, but I want to add a function where if the player you want to battle already has a request from someone else, the RequestRemote wont fire and give the player an error message. I just don't know what function can accomplish this because the Boolean value has to be accessed from the localscript.

The boolean "hasRequest" is created in everyone's Player. This is the value I want to check before sending a request.

Here is my LocalScript for reference:

01local id = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("PlayerID")
02local text = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Battletext")
03local Request = game.ReplicatedStorage.DefaultRequest
04local localgui = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
05local localplayerid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId
06local lookfor = game.ReplicatedStorage.BattleEvent
07local lookForGameNextClick = true
08local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerByUserId(id.Value)
09local localname = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
10local iswaiting = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("WaitingForPlayer")
11local hasgui = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("hasRequest")

15script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
16    --print(id.Value)
17    --print(localplayerid)
18 
19    if id.Value == localplayerid then -- can't battle yourself in the list
20        script.Disabled = true
21        text.Text = "Can't Do That"
22        wait(2)
23        script.Disabled = false
24        text.Text = "BATTLE"
25 
26    else
27        if hasgui.Value == true then
28            print("True")
29            text.Text = "Waiting!" -- waiting for player to accept or decline
30            script.Disabled = true
31            wait(2)
32            text.Text = "BATTLE"
33            script.Disabled = false
34            return
35        end
36        if hasgui.Value == false then -- if localplayer has a request, another request can't be sent.
37            print("False")
38            if iswaiting.Value == false then
39                text.Text = "Cancel"
40                game.ReplicatedStorage.BoolTrueRemote:FireServer(localname) 
41                sendmessage()
42                return
43            end
44            if iswaiting.Value == true then
45                text.Text = "Waiting!" -- waiting for player to accept or decline
