How to use RemoteEvent in a Tool's script?

So, I might freak out cause I always think if I use :Clone() to a script in a tool. Not all the players might see it in the in-game server, and how to use RemoteEvent to a Tool's script if the players won't see the cloned model/part? This is a sample of my script without RemoteEvent.

01local t = game:GetService("TweenService")
02script.Parent.Deactivated:Connect(function()
03    print("Planted")
04    local oldseed = script.Parent
05    local seed = script.Parent.Handle:Clone()
06    seed.Parent = game.Workspace
07    seed.CFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Starling_Seed.Handle.CFrame
08    seed.CanCollide = false
09    wait(0.2)
10    seed.Anchored = true
11    wait(0.1)
12    oldseed:Destroy()
13    wait(5)
14    seed.Anchored = false
15    local Mesh =  seed
16    local boduy = Instance.new("BodyPosition", Mesh)
17    boduy.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000, 5000, 5000)
18    boduy.Position = Vector3.new(seed.CFrame.X,100,seed.CFrame.Z)
19    wait(2)
20    Mesh.Anchored = true
21    boduy:Destroy()
22    while true do
23        wait(5)
24        local goal = {}
25        goal.Size = Vector3.new(100.5, 50.96, 100.751)
26        goal.Orientation = Vector3.new(90, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Y,90)
27        goal.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
28        local g = t:Create(Mesh, TweenInfo.new(50), goal)
29        g:Play()
30        wait(20)
31        local newseed = game.Lighting.CloneSeedFruit.Starling_Seed:Clone()
32        newseed.Handle.CFrame = Mesh.CFrame
33        newseed.Parent = game.Workspace
34        print("Cloned Seed!")
35        wait(105)
36        newseed:Destroy()   
37    end
38end)

I use :Clone(), so my game will be Filtering Enabled. Other players might not see the cloned object?

Why is your seed in Lighting? User#19524 175 — 6y

the tool's in starterpack and onced the tool is used: the tool calls the newseed cherrythetree 130 — 6y

But why is the seed in Lighting? User#19524 175 — 6y

I will use it for the shop gui cherrythetree 130 — 6y

Shouldn't be using Lighting as storage. Where did you get the idea that this was a good place to store objects, when we have services like ReplicatedStorage and ServerStorage? User#19524 175 — 6y

`1`	`local` `newseed` `=` `game.Lighting.CloneSeedFruit.Starling_Seed:Clone()`

Use ReplicatedStorage it is seen by both client and server

Make sure the script isn't a LocalScript since the tool will be in workspace(Character is in workspace) a script will allow everyone to see it when cloned.

So what I would do is you can make a localscript fired a RemoteEvent and that will just send the player LocalScript:

1script.Parent.Deactivated:Connect(function()
2script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
3end)

Script:

01local t = game:GetService("TweenService")
02script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
03    print("Planted")
04    local oldseed = script.Parent
05    local seed = script.Parent.Handle:Clone()
06    seed.Parent = game.Workspace
07    seed.CFrame = plr.Character.Starling_Seed.Handle.CFrame
08    seed.CanCollide = false
09    wait(0.2)
10    seed.Anchored = true
11    wait(0.1)
12    oldseed:Destroy()
13    wait(5)
14    seed.Anchored = false
15    local Mesh =  seed
16    local boduy = Instance.new("BodyPosition", Mesh)
17    boduy.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000, 5000, 5000)
18    boduy.Position = Vector3.new(seed.CFrame.X,100,seed.CFrame.Z)
19    wait(2)
20    Mesh.Anchored = true
21    boduy:Destroy()
22    while true do
23        wait(5)
24        local goal = {}
25        goal.Size = Vector3.new(100.5, 50.96, 100.751)
26        goal.Orientation = Vector3.new(90, plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Y,90)
27        goal.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
28        local g = t:Create(Mesh, TweenInfo.new(50), goal)
29        g:Play()
30        wait(20)
31        local newseed = game.Lighting.CloneSeedFruit.Starling_Seed:Clone()
32        newseed.Handle.CFrame = Mesh.CFrame
33        newseed.Parent = game.Workspace
34        print("Cloned Seed!")
35        wait(105)
36        newseed:Destroy()   
37    end
38end)

Just adjust that to fit your tool So you will have LocalScript Script RemoteEvent
