Ok so here are some questions I have with remote event in roblox studio.

[muted silo]

• it lets me pass data from a server to a client?
• it lets me pass data from a client to the server?
• it lets me pass server data to all clients? what does this all mean? Whats an example of this?
• Whats the point of using remote events for lets say when I insert a local script and make it so when i press a button it turns a baseplate transparent for not just the client but for the server when I can just insert a server script into it?

so since serverscripts can't access local player you use that with a remote event? But for the serverscript can't I get get the service of players? passing data from a client to the server what does that mean?

[nimble rune]

u use remote events to communicate server-client, passing data to all clients means that a data on the server will be sent to every player client, else if it was to one client it will send data to that specific client. the example u gave of remote event makes no sense because u dont need to use that in that case

idk i think a basic example would be: u have a button wich displays somethings on player gui when its clicked. U need to send data from server to client to do that

[muted silo]

thank you but why can't I insert a server script? Why remote events when localscripts and server scripts are a thing? I can access the server just fine with a serverscript, are u saying if I wanted to access the server from a localscript because if so then ill just make it a server script lol,m I don't think roblox thought this one out.

completely no point in it when I can do the same thing without using it.

[nimble rune]

as i said remote events are needed to send data from server to client and client to server, u cant menage the same data on two different scripts, remote events are important to do a lot of things i suggest u to watch a tutorial

currently the game im making has a tons of things that work with remote events, basically everthing

i think u misenunderstood the concept of remote events, search up a tutorial

[muted silo]

Want to see me make a button that turns a part diff colors for the entire server without using remote events?

[muted silo]

I watched many tutorials, I see no point in it.

[muted silo]

Never said remote events don't work, I said they aren't needed because I code everything a remote event can do.

[simple bloom]

ur mistaking its purpose

[nimble rune]

u dont need remote event for that

[gritty acorn]

say you wanted to update the players coins when they click F

you would make the keybind system in localscript
it would then fire a remote event which by default carries the player who did it

then in server script you recieve the remote event
and can update their coins

[simple bloom]

u cant save data about a player client sided, so u must communicate with ur server to let them know what data to save

this is done thru remotes

[nimble rune]

if u want help just dont assume they dont work try to understand

[muted silo]

Thank you, but want to see me code this without using remote events?

[nimble rune]

u saying that the most basic and important thing on rblx doesnt work

[simple bloom]

i promise u, you coudln't

[muted silo]

Datastoreservice?

[muted silo]

Watch me

[nimble rune]

so tell me how can u make something not exploitable without communicating server side to local

[muted silo]

Well idk how keybinds work but maybe I can do it when a button is pressed?

[gritty acorn]

the server cant pickup keypresses

[simple bloom]

lmao

[gritty acorn]

aka you cant without localscript

[simple bloom]

u cant use that service on the client side

[gritty acorn]

and if you broke roblox engine how would you get the player who did it

[simple bloom]

i think he meant client sided

but even then

its not possible

[muted silo]

I can't make a UI button pressed that gives the player cash for both server and the player without local script?>

[simple bloom]

say you wanted to update the players coins when they click F

you would make the keybind system in localscript 
it would then fire a remote event which by default carries the player who did it

then in server script you recieve the remote event
and can update their coins```

how would u do this

without remotes

lay out ur plan

and il explain where ur wrong

[muted silo]

Idk how keybinds work, idk how to code keybinds but I can code it with button pressed

[simple bloom]

okay lets assume

it was a button

[gritty acorn]

see the only way i can think to make that awful idea possible is have a local script update your leaderstats

then a serverscript that saves your leaderstats to your players data

but this is awful as trusting the client with data is how you end up with people having 10000000000 coins

aka people can just exploit

[simple bloom]

dont they just make those int values under the player these days?

[gritty acorn]

yes they make a folder then create int values in the folder

[simple bloom]

still exploitable

[muted silo]

a localscript update my leaderstats? what?

[simple bloom]

its more logical

than ur plan

😹

[gritty acorn]

so i just change those int values and if you have a script that saves that to the database
you are cooked

[muted silo]

I don't need to code it to update my leaderstats it updates when the button is pressed

[nimble rune]

bro is this rage bait

[simple bloom]

cant tell

[muted silo]

No, why are you mad?

[simple bloom]

ur adamant ur correct

[nimble rune]

bro u cant be serious🥀 🥀

[simple bloom]

and are not laying the specificities of ur idea so we cannot correct u in a clear enough manner

[nimble rune]

if u need help just try to understand instead of assuming remote events doesnt work

[muted silo]

idk what "specificities" means

[gritty acorn]

if your being serious and want to know

local script is client
it handles things specific to the player like keypresses

remote events and functions is how the client and server communicate

server scripts and modules go in ServerScriptService and are much safter as a player cant just change values in the server

[muted silo]

ye i know that

[simple bloom]

write a script and show me

lets see what u come up with

[muted silo]

show u what

that I can code stuff without using remote events?

here imma just code sum rq and come back

idk if we are on ethe smae pager

[simple bloom]

code what @gritty acorn came up with a couple msg prior

remote events let the client tell the server when something happens like a button click, since the server can't see that, and the server handles the real stuff like giving coins or saving data, so the client doesn’t do anything exploitable.

the server cannot use userinputservice and the client cant use datastoreservice

or whatever u think it can

[nimble rune]

ye

an other thing u can do

make if that a player watches a part for 3 seconds that part get destroyed on the server

just to see what u do

[simple bloom]

isn't this possible? just not optimal

[muted silo]

done

I made it

[gritty acorn]

W

[muted silo]

I made it so when u click a button it gives u 1 coin

[simple bloom]

show

[muted silo]

Ok

[simple bloom]

lets see it

[gritty acorn]

So it updates the number in a gui text label?

[nimble rune]

i have it in my game so if i watch a monster for seconds my sanity drain (wich happens on the server) and if i watch it for too long it disappears

[gritty acorn]

Therefore doesn't save to the player

[simple bloom]

its still exploitable i thought u were trying to give an example of what is not possible

[muted silo]

no it updates it to the leaderstat

[simple bloom]

do that in a real game

[muted silo]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/kkLA80TVFKZC1oHWc?invite=cr-MSxsZGcsMTg3ODQwNTU3

[simple bloom]

and il assign myself inf coins

[gritty acorn]

Oh so you are doing the leaderstats way 😭

[muted silo]

?

[nimble rune]

im not talking abt exploit, server cant see if a part is on player screen, am i wrong?

[simple bloom]

ts so easy to exploit a wave user could do it

[simple bloom]

they can

just not optimal

[muted silo]

so remote events are to prevent exploiters?

[simple bloom]

alot mor than that

[nimble rune]

oh

idk did that a lot of time ago didnt know u can

[muted silo]

and how is this easily exploitable

[simple bloom]

i can assign any value to leaderstats

since ur trusting the client

remotes help u to avoid that

by not explicitly letting them decide what is what

[muted silo]

its to the server too

[simple bloom]

does not matter

[muted silo]

that everyone cans ee his value

[gritty acorn]

So using infinite yield
There's something called remote spy

When you click your button it would pick that up as it's client sided

So I could while true loop that
Getting infinite coins

Or
I could just change the value of my coins to 1 billion and it would save

[simple bloom]

in the end exploiters could target ur idea in two ways

[muted silo]

wait

I think I see

[simple bloom]

if u end up trusting the leaderstats, they can assign any vlaue

[muted silo]

when I went to the server the value is still 0, why?

[gritty acorn]

Yea basically client side is all visible
Server is behind a big wall

And remote events are birds flying over it

[simple bloom]

bc u did it incorrectly

[nimble rune]

u gave urself the answer

[muted silo]

oh

[simple bloom]

wait can u send us ur code

[muted silo]

can't I make a button with a serverscript that gives plays coins when they click it?

[simple bloom]

dont remove comments or edit anything

[simple bloom]

no

be honest, are u using gpt?

[nimble rune]

bro playergui is not server side

[muted silo]

no

[nimble rune]

u cant

[muted silo]

oh

[simple bloom]

if so let it know in what context ur generating teh script in, like tell it if i need a server script or a local one

[muted silo]

im not using gpt

if u think im trynna waste ur time ur wrong

I am literally trynna seek answers

Do people actually do that?

[nimble rune]

do what

[simple bloom]

imma leave u with rocky, hopefully he can explain

[gritty acorn]

If you want to do it the actual way
Look up profile store by monzerdev
Or data store by gnome code

[muted silo]

the only way I can send it to the server is with remote events?

[gritty acorn]

That's how you actually save data to a player

[nimble rune]

yes

[muted silo]

well, I have completely no idea how to do that

[gritty acorn]

Events and functions

Events go once
Functions go and return data back

[nimble rune]

as i said before just watch a 10 minute tutorial

u can understand that in 3 minutes its basic scripting

[muted silo]

I did

still clueless

they are pretty bad at explaining it

[nimble rune]

what havent u understood

[muted silo]

either that or I don't know 90% of what they are saying

[gritty acorn]

Follow one of the tutorials I suggested
Like profile store

Then play around with it, that's the only way to learn

[simple bloom]

there is two right? profilestore and profileservice, which is the latest?

[gritty acorn]

Profile store

[muted silo]

wdym "go once"? I can make a event and I use it multiple times and its more than once

[gritty acorn]

Same creator aswel

[muted silo]

idk what u mean

[simple bloom]

they serve the purpose of sending data to each other

not back

[muted silo]

if I make a button with remote events I can click it multiple times and boom the event went more than once

[simple bloom]

with an answer

[simple bloom]

lmao

[nimble rune]

bro

[simple bloom]

its not two way

not back and forth

[gritty acorn]

So say I want to do the keybinds to wipe a players data when they click T

The player clicks T
It fires to the server carrying which player did it

That's remote events

Remote function say you wanted to update your gui with how many coins a player has

You can tell it go to a server script
Get the player.coins data
And return it back to me in the client

[nimble rune]

bro i tried to help idk whats the issue there

idk if u still need help tell me

[gritty acorn]

The difference is it goes there
Then thats it

It doesn't come back

[simple bloom]

the reason this must be done on the client is because u cannot check if the player clicks t on the server ( for the cow dude )

[muted silo]

what the data doesn't come back?

im ngl im still confused

[gritty acorn]

If the data doesn't come back you scripted getting the players data wrong

[muted silo]

but idk what questions to ask

[muted silo]

ohh for datastore service

[gritty acorn]

You just gotta start basic with little projects

[muted silo]

im trying

[simple bloom]

there are remotes, but different types of remotes, one to send data to each other and one that take info and return an answer back to each other

[muted silo]

is remote event advanced?

[simple bloom]

not in teh slightest

[muted silo]

I am sure ik the basics

[gritty acorn]

Yeah I use remote functions when I want to update my GUI

As it can get data AND return it

I would need two remote functions to be able to do that

[nimble rune]

no its basic

[gritty acorn]

You'd learn it fast with a tutorial and some practice

[muted silo]

I do a tutorial, and if I practice I just copy what he showed.

and memorize the script

Im not rlly learning, just memorizing.

[simple bloom]

its not that u cannot communicate between the client and server without remotes but its messy and u r likely not using something for its intended purpose

[muted silo]

wish people can vc nowdays, just gives me more space to explain.

[gritty acorn]

I copied down what he wrote line by line

Then I wrote my own functions interacting with it

Or tried to figure out how to make the client speak to it

[nimble rune]

@muted silo btw in the future its important to pass arguments too, u can make a remote event do multiple things based on the passed argument, my game is based on that so just start learning the basics now then u will see how and when u need to use them

[simple bloom]

arguements are also where alot of people screw up

try not to pass amounts through them

like 999 to diamonds or something

[nimble rune]

i understood them pretty quickly they really useful

[junior berry]

** You are now Level 8! **

[nimble rune]

why btw?

[simple bloom]

because cheaters can just change it

before it reaches the server

[nimble rune]

oh

i often send strings or values

[simple bloom]

so communicate amounts through the remote itself

[nimble rune]

but its always from server to client

[simple bloom]

try not to, or do sanity checks

[nimble rune]

what should i pass

[simple bloom]

they can also manipulate what teh server sends to the client but its rarely useful

[simple bloom]

try to base logic off the name of the remote

like make a specific remote for a specific function in your game

[nimble rune]

like for example in my game i have just one remotevent that manages a text pop up, if i pick an item, the argoument passed is example: “pickup” and on client the text will be “player picked up itemname” if i drop an item the argoument is “drop” and the text will be “the player dropped itemname”

thats basically how i use them

[muted silo]

passing arguements you mean like from where to where?

can someone vc?

Explain through vc while I share

I assume not, and because of this I am still confused

"watch a tutorial"

[nimble rune]

now ill go to sleep but dont stress about argouments just learn remote event basics

[muted silo]

"go to a documentation" how about a face to face understanding of it

[muted silo]

alr

[gaunt turtle]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/events/remote

[muted silo]

I have no clue what anything there is saying

[gaunt turtle]

Reading issues ig

[muted silo]

fuck you

prick

if ur not here to help leave

[gaunt turtle]

What in the anger issues

[muted silo]

stop ragebaiting buddy

[gaunt turtle]

I ain’t

If you can’t read the doc I’m sorry for you, good luck.

Sincerely.

[muted silo]

anger issues? says reading issues and expects nothing back? Yeah ill punch someone in the face and they punch me back itsd anger issues?

[muted silo]

I doubt you're trying to help, if you don't have the time to sit down and explain then get offensive then you really need to rethink your lfie

[gaunt turtle]

lfie ?

[muted silo]

so sthu and imma ignore your ragebait now

[gaunt turtle]

Mkay

If you took the time to read the documentation, each single question you asked would be answered

[muted silo]

can someone go into a vc w me and explain?

[muted silo]

I just inserted a script into a textbutton and used that script to change a part transparency when its pressed and its server sided no remote events

[muted silo]

I just inserted a script into a textbutton and used that script to change a part transparency when its pressed and its server sided no remote events

[muted silo]

I just inserted a script into a textbutton and used that script to change a part transparency when its pressed and its server sided no remote events

[simple bloom]

lmao

how old are you

what we said went right over your head

we never said that is not possible, heck that is not even related to what we said

[muted silo]

I said that because idk if chatgpt is trippin or not but i told him that and he thinks im not supposed to be able to do that so I went to you guys.

[gritty acorn]

Can you show me your script

You can do that with a localscript

You can't do that with a server script

As playergui doesn't exist in server only client

Make sure when testing you use "play" and "server" in the drop-down not "play solo"

Studio is a testing environment meaning if you use play here it blurs the lines between server and client

Purely for testing so you can mess around without needing the proper architecture

So your script might work using play here

But as soon as you use a realistic environment it will break
And that's simply because GUI is client specific

[gaunt turtle]

Must be young

[muted silo]

I did it with a server script

I’ll show you after school

[gritty acorn]

Alright just remember use player and select server I can show you how if need be

[nimble rune]

bro why u losing time with this guy

he should appreciate ur help

[gritty acorn]

In the end maybe be will go off and make the next grow a garden and he can say
All cuz of this dude 🙌🏻

[nimble rune]

why is that game so popular

[gritty acorn]

Prolly cause it's simple, it's like the tiktok of games bro

No think just grow

[muted silo]

I do.

Idk why they hate me.

They hate me cause they ain’t me

Shut up and nut up buddy

[muted silo]

I really do appreciate you, I usually say thank you once we finish

[junior berry]

** You are now Level 8! **

[muted silo]

But thank you for helping me and I hope I am not bothering you.

[gritty acorn]

Your not
I just want to help you see what we're on about

Your at the start once you've put a bit more time you could be just as good if not better then me

[muted silo]

I’m actually thinking on working on a big game, I got my own team too and we’re all learning. I have plans for advertising and different ways to make money and I am very confident in this.

[gritty acorn]

i highly suggest you first mess around before trying something big and complex or you might burn out

but that sounds cool i hope it goes well

[muted silo]

I know

I’m going to be making small games first

Then after my team and I are confident and experienced we will start maiming a game and I will sponsor it.

So to these mf who wanna hate on me for asking questions watch me.

[gritty acorn]

to learn the basics how about this

put a sphere part in studio

learn profile store from loleris

when you touch the ball it adds a +1 to your "Balls" count in leaderstats and in their actual player data

then make a little gui and learn how to plug it into gui

then you can mess around with adding more balls
spawning in the balls from replicated or server storage
adding properties to the balls like prices

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evBhoqeYegQ

genuinly watch this tutorial, spend an hour or two a day

youll have no problem doing this

you can ask me any questions along the way

up to you yho

just enjoy yourself

[muted silo]

I'm home from school if you wanna see my script coding in the UI

[muted silo]

is this datastore service?

[muted silo]

Also ty

[gritty acorn]

profile store

its database but a library making it easier

and give it a try the script

[muted silo]

alr, I will later

[gaunt turtle]

"I’ll let you know when I’m free 🤥" ahh

[muted silo]

also want to see my proof I made a part transparent for the server with a UI button press?

Without remote events

[gritty acorn]

yes

[gritty acorn]

go ahead

[muted silo]

alr, vc?

rq

so I can share

you don't have to talk or anything

[gritty acorn]

im with someone can you send the server script

[muted silo]

alr

[gritty acorn]

ill take your word for it because i think your using play here

which merges client and server

[muted silo]

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.Workspace.Part.Transparency = 1
end)

[gritty acorn]

so let me show you the reason

i ran it using a server and client this splits server and client how an actual game experience would

now it wont work

but if you just load in using "Play" or "Play here" it will work

i just have it print something

@muted silo

this is all because on client theres something called "PlayerGui"

it cant be accessed on the server

ill show you how to do it properly so you can use the method

local button = script.Parent -- just references the button
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") -- we get replicated storage to get our remote event
local remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ButtonClicked") -- we get our remote event

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("Button clicked, firing to server")
    remote:FireServer() -- this is how you fire to server using the remote event
end)

so this is the localscript i place it inside the button

in ReplicatedStorage we use a "Remote Event"

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") 
local remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ButtonClicked")

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    print(player.Name .. " clicked the button!")
end)

then this is the server script inside serverscriptservice

it just gets the fire front the client

now it works on a realistic experience like in an actual roblox game where client and server is seperated

this is the server view

[muted silo]

My part was accessed by the server not just the client

[gritty acorn]

Yes when you used "Play"

Do this and try

This emulates an actual Roblox game

[muted silo]

kk

wait

so why would the server side say it loads for the server?

is it a bug?

yep

it works

I did it and I look at the server it turns transparent

[muted silo]

I did that and it still shows for the server and the player no remote events

[gritty acorn]

Can you show that your server tab is open and it's printing in the output

[muted silo]

when the button is pressed it turns the part transparent for everyone, including the server and no remote events.

[muted silo]

like printing too?

[gritty acorn]

You don't have to just show it's doing something like your part

[muted silo]

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.Workspace.Part.Transparency = 1
print("Part is transparent")
end)

[muted silo]

Ok

[gritty acorn]

You can drag the server tab to the left half of your screen and the client to the rightht

[muted silo]

Ok

[gritty acorn]

If your loading in correctly It will open a server experience and a client one

[muted silo]

yeah

ik

im telling you I coded a UI button when its pressed the part turns transparent for both the server and the client

Thats normal.

Right?

no remote events

[gritty acorn]

If you've made a server script
And loaded in correctly how I've said
If you can still get the gui button to work then you win

But you have to show you've loaded in correctly

[muted silo]

I have a server script yes

[muted silo]

Ok how? want me to just clip it

[gritty acorn]

Just take a screen shot
Server instance on the left half
Client instance on the right

[muted silo]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/kl9Duuita9RlJAcdl?invite=cr-MSwyS2osMTg3ODQwNTU3

[muted silo]

Code in the server script

[gritty acorn]

Can you show me your test tab

[muted silo]

wdy6m

the test tab?

[gritty acorn]

This one

[muted silo]

alr

[gritty acorn]

You can play in a few different ways

Just need to make sure your doing it in the correct way

[muted silo]

transparent after I clicked the button

I cans end a clip too

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/kl9HXwNTPiRueUeHN?invite=cr-MSxEQVcsMTg3ODQwNTU3

thats for the test one

bruh it didn't show both tabs there for some reason

are we on the same page here?

[gritty acorn]

And your using this

[muted silo]

yes

[gritty acorn]

If so I'll have to test it

Shouldn't work but I'll double check

[muted silo]

dawg, can we just head to a vc and ill share

if you're shy you don't needa talk

mute

just look at my share and ill explain

its a lot easier

[gritty acorn]

I'm watching a movie with my friend
How about this, add me and we can vc and talk at some point and I can run you through some basics

[muted silo]

For free, right?

[gritty acorn]

Ofc

Free

[muted silo]

Fr?

[gritty acorn]

Yeah I can show you how to start and you can go from there

It wouldn't take all that long and you can ask any questions

[muted silo]

Tysm

i really appreciate that, I hope I am not a burden.

[gritty acorn]

Nono it's good to help cause I learn too

[muted silo]

I have some bad ADHD so Its hard for me to focus.

like its not terrible but sometimes I might have u repeat or I am just confused because I have no clue of the words you are saying Lol./

[gritty acorn]

Ill do my best to explain well then lol dw

[muted silo]

Kk

Lmk

Ty

[muted silo]

were u just on saber showdown

[muted silo]

You done?
