Is it possible to achieve a Server - Client communication without events?

[latent knot]

While I was making a system, I noticed that I had to send a signal from the server to the client just to play a sound. I find it excessive to create a RemoteEvent just for a sound to play, so I was wondering if there are any other alternatives.

just parent the sound to a part in the workspace

on the server

btw this way is way more optimized

the remoteevent way

that would play the sound on the server, i wanted the sound to play on client, thats not the main thing tho, im js curious abt some other forms of server client communication

[cold bobcat]

yes, with indirect or limited methods i would recommend RemoteEvents just runs smoother if u ask me

It is not possible to achieve server-client communication without the use of RemoteEvents and instances alike. You're attempting to network, and these instances are the only interfaces for networking. You can use networking libraries to abstract the creation of RemoteEvents, streamlining your code and cleaning up your workbench

there isn't

i was actually thinking abt learning networking libraries is that good?

[signal smelt]

I recommend them, yes

I personally use Blink

remote events are made to communicate between client and server, its made for that 😅

so using it to play a sound is not that overkill, or maby use unreliable but you sound will risk not to play everytime

Use unreliable remote event

[tired chasm]

ye but no.. issue is that the sound risk to not be played
