Can remote event be used if it is placed inside of workspace

[nghiapoopie123]

So as the title mentioned, i wanted to ask is it possible for remoteevent to work even if it is placed inside of workspace?

[D0RYU (nici)]

yes they will work in workspace, but why do that when you can instead use them in ReplicatedStorage or ServerStorage?

[Mystxry12 (Mystxry)]

In order for both the server and clients to utilize a remote event, the RemoteEvent object must be in a place where both sides can see it. It is normally stored in RelicatedStorage although in some cases it’s okay to store it in the workspace or inside a Tool

[ReplicaService]

You can use remote events anywhere even if it doesn’t have any parent

@Mystxry12

the RemoteEvent object must be in a place where both sides can see it.

that’s not true, they work in ServerStorage perfectly fine
just because local scripts can’t access them doesn’t mean they don’t work

[nghiapoopie123]

so can you guys take a look at this topic

RemoteEvent delay

I was trying to make a tesla that can open its two front door using the GUI textbuttons but however, when i try to do it, the door isn’t opened immediately and it also cannot be closed too. Note: when the GUI textbutton is clicked, the localscript will send signals to the server either to close or open the doors using remote event. Client script: [code]> local DoorOpen = script.Parent local leftfront = workspace.TeslaCyberTruck.leftfront print(leftfront.Parent) DoorOpen.leftfrontopenclose…

Yeah it will work and trigger but I don’t see the need to use workspace when we have designated storages for them.

[nghiapoopie123]

yeah, but i have a tesla and i tried to make the doors open or close using remoteevent but it doesn’t work and i put remoteevent inside the Tesla model

Well, thts wat it says in da api reference.

[Do_scripter (NOHeaddevalt)]

Most people use it in ReplicatedStorage, all Ik about them ngl

[D0RYU (nici)]

where in the api does it say I can’t use it there?

[nghiapoopie123]

Idk, i just asked to make sure that is not the issue

RemoteEvents

They have to be replicated in order to completely work, sure you can use 1 side of the function but the other one won’t detect it because it’s located within a Server-only Sided area

@JackscarIitt

sure you can use 1 side of the function

my point was that FireClient would work in ServerStorage, is that right then?
or am I reading it wrong, because it says I can use 1 side of the function

[nghiapoopie123]

ok, so client - server works but server to clients or one client is not gonna work? right?

[JackscarIitt (Jackscarlett)]

Yes, you can use these functions on one side:

• FireServer()
• FireClient()

But your Event functions won’t be able to detect them because they’re not replicated across this side, if you place your RemoteEvent inside ServerStorage/ServerScriptService:

• OnServerEvent()
• OnClientEvent()

@nghiapoopie123 Correct, for that you could probably use a BindableEvent for that instead I believe if you’re wanting to only detect one side

[nghiapoopie123]

ok, i’ll see your solution, thanks for your advice

Dude read the api, it literally says

In order for both the server and clients to utilize a remote event, the RemoteEvent object itself must be in a place where both sides can see it.
