Can I send a table with a set metatable through a RemoteEvent?

Is it possible to send a table that has a metatable attached to it through a RemoteEvent and it will still function like the same metatable before sending it through?

Example:
server:

local event = rs.someEvent
local metaTable = exampleTable

event.FireAllClients(metaTable) -- sorry if its not the correct syntax its just an example

client:

local event = rs.someEvent
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(table)
         table:metaTablefunction()
end)

will it work?

Dont think it would
Even if it did, functions can’t get serialized so you wouldn’t be able to do anything with it eitherway

thank you for clearing this out for me and saving me precious time actually testing if it would work :+1:
