A better way to send an event from server-server

[mario118118]

Obviously Remote Events etc can’t be used to send events between either client-client or server-server.

Recently I’ve wanted to send a message from one script to another on the server. I ended up accomplishing this by adding StringValues to a folder and listening for the ChildAdded event from the other script, and consequently reading the value.

Is there a better way to achieve this? For some reason I’m sceptical of this method and feel like it will go wrong

Thanks

You can use a BindableEvent for this.

Thank you.

I find that using Bindables are slow due to how they are serialized. Modules should be your first choice as they will only run once allowing you to share functionality between scripts.

This may also help you if you do not want to use bindables.

Custom Event Module

With the changes to coroutine.yield it is now possible to yield a thread and resume it upon another action being made. This is the first draft of my custom event module so I expect a lot of of things to change. The goal of this module is to closely simulate the functionality of value holders and bindable events (will look at adding in bindable functions at a later stage after some code refactoring). This is shown below in the gif. [image] The module can be here (test script and API include…

Hope this helps.

Probably not the type of answer you’re looking for, but I’d really recommend @Crazyman32’s AeroGameFramework

It’s completely solved the problem of recursive dependencies in modules, as well as communication in general. I’m using it on my next project, it really makes development a breeze(in my personal experience)
