Unreliable Remote Events

[rose flame]

Yes, as the name suggests, this is about Unreliable Remote Events.

My task is simple:
To create a udp handshake between the client and the server.

Currently I am using Unreliable Remote Events to do this (as they are UDP Protocol events). However, I require help.

My question is:

When sending and receiving packets, is it efficient to use the Unreliable Remote Events as listeners?

Thankies

hello

[rose flame]

yyayyaya

pls answer le questione

[rancid barn]

When sending and receiving packets, is it efficient to use the Unreliable Remote Events as listeners?
What other options are there?

[rose flame]

bro

ITS MY SIXTH DAY IN LUAU OKAY

I DO NOT KNOW

[indigo forge]

using the .OnClientEvent (on the client) and .OnServerEvent (on the server) connections for an UnreliableRemoteEvent is the intended and necessary way. dumbass

you cant do anything else

[rose flame]

okay cool beans

im nearly finished anyways so theres no going back

[rancid barn]

I didn't mean it that way, i was genuinely asking.
As far as I know the best and only way to have a listener is to do what blaze has described

[rose flame]

gotcha

[indigo forge]

when it was my 6th day

[rose flame]

shut

[rancid barn]

omg really?? thats awesome :3

[indigo forge]

i already had 5 years of experience

on my 7th day

[rose flame]

i already have 10

[rancid barn]

woah I only have 9

[indigo forge]

and bro does not know an onclient....Nah

[rose flame]

i know onclients

[indigo forge]

i gave my request for s2... they didnt reply...yet

fuck

[rose flame]

but there might be another way... geee idk... like SOCKETS??

[indigo forge]

roblox is ass at handling them

[rose flame]

good

i like ass handling

[indigo forge]

you like your ass to be man handled?

[rose flame]

not to you lil bro

[quaint trench]

unreliableremoteevent is risky in my opinion

[sterile eagle]

** You are now Level 24! **

[rose flame]

why is it risky

[rancid barn]

Roblox events most likely go through some form of socket or stream

[quaint trench]

it can fail

[rose flame]

they lit have to

[quaint trench]

when listening or sending

[rose flame]

ve

[indigo forge]

cause roblox handles the unreliable packets also

[rose flame]

thats the whole fucking point

😅😂😂😭😭

[quaint trench]

yea?

[rose flame]

its a udp handshake bro

[indigo forge]

damn

[rose flame]

udp dont do handshakes

so im inventing one

[indigo forge]

sequence of messages exchanged between client and server

thats what it is

[rancid barn]

[rose flame]

shit like this

[indigo forge]

gae

[rose flame]

shut

ybau

[rancid barn]

You seem really obsessed with gay, are you gay yourself by any chance?

[rose flame]

bro

[indigo forge]

mf

[rose flame]

caught in 6.9k

[indigo forge]

nah

caught in robux

fr

[rough musk]

Very

[indigo forge]

NAH, YOu use white version

NAh

[rose flame]

gang

[rough musk]

wait() is deprecated

[rose flame]

its the whole point

what do i use instead of wait

[rancid barn]

i love it when people fail to mention the replacement 😭

[indigo forge]

maybe a loop

[rancid barn]

@rose flame task.wait() is the replacement

[indigo forge]

but it will lag

[rough musk]

task.wwait

[indigo forge]

nah dont

[rose flame]

sybau blaze

[rough musk]

Bro what

[rose flame]

task.wait(s)?

daq

danq

[quaint trench]

i mean task.delay

mb

[rancid barn]

was about to check the docs

lmao

[rose flame]

execution.pause()

[rough musk]

Sybau bro..

Either chatgpt, tut, toolbox or it is NOT ur sixth day

[devout vapor]

why on earth are people in this thread so unhelpful

@rose flame , why use UnreliableRemoteEvent instead of standard RemoteEvents?

especially for a handshake, since the very nature of an UnreliableRemoteEvent is that the packets have a chance to never be received

standard RemoteEvents will ALWAYS be received

am i misunderstanding something

[devout vapor]

i'm confused what you're trying to achieve overall

isn't the point of udp that it doesnt require a handshake

but yes UnreliableRemoteEvents are potentially more efficient especially under server load because they are not prioritised, so more important signals will go through at priority

[fickle garden]

Isn't the only thing that makes UnReliableRemoteEvent faster the fact that it doesn't have to wait for a handshake? Adding a handshake just kinda makes it a regular RemoteEvent

[devout vapor]

right?? thats what im thinking lol

also moon i like you, you are one of the actual reasonable and helpful people on here

[rancid barn]

Normal remote events enforce ordering so if a single one is dropped it will hold back the entire queue until its received

So the desire to have unordered yet reliable events is useful

I don't know if in reality the improvement will be faster specifically here but on paper and elsewhere in the world of networking this works

[rancid barn]

6th day on roblox doesn't mean 6th day programming in general

kin has stated multiple times that they've got extensive past experience

[devout vapor]

suppose yeah, true

i think i'd just be skeptical that it would actually be faster considering this is much less back-end than what'll actually be going on in the event firing and such

it's hard to know unless you do some testing, i'd be interested to see what the results are

[rancid barn]

I agree

I'm curious to see their results as well

[fickle garden]

Oh got it, that makes sense (but I doubt it'd be any faster but interested to see)

[rose flame]

Wasnt specified before
