Best method to send/update a value from the client to the server?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Let’s say I want to send the client’s Mouse.Y to the server but I need the updated value every heartbeat. While I could just keep sending it via RemoteEvent this seems inefficient. Is there a better way to continuously update a value on the server?

#2

Could you tell us what the specific use case for this is? Like the clientside and serverside scripts, and what you are hoping to accomplish.

#3

What’s the use case? The rate of sending the value over to the server depends upon it.

#4

There isn’t a specific use - I was just giving an example. I’m just asking because I’m wondering if there’s a better method than constantly using remotes.

#5

I want to update the value every heartbeat.

#6

Remotes are the way to go then.

#7

Is there any difference in efficiency between RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions?

#8

The docs will prolly do a better job of explaining it than me

I couldn’t really find any details on the costs for remotes on the documentation, but I did find this topic with a lot of information on how the Roblox network functions. I believe that RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions both use the same amount of bandwidth when communicating across the client-server boundary but RemoteFunctions just do that twice. Anyway, I’ll just try to limit excessive use of remotes and I should be good.
