is learning how to code with remote functions and remote event something that is important or not i just cant seem to understand how to do them if i don’t get them should i just not learn them i already know how to use module scripts :thinking:

Yes, absolutely yes. Remotes have a significant part in your game, they can help you so much.

They’re connecting the client with the server [or opposite], and can save lot of problems. Use them correctly and wisely.

90% of the time i try to use them in my code they don’t work

4

Yes it’s very important. Most games won’t function without it and you can’t access the client stuff without using them

Maybe you are not using them right

6

But if it’s a simple game , like an obby, then you don’t have. [Depends if you add stuff that require remotes[

7

like i have been trying to figure out how to get a key pressed in client via local script to effect something in the server side

8

Can you show us the Code? We might be able to help

9

ok i guess i will be learning them then

game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputBegan:connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
–code here
end
end)

11

There is nothing wrong with this code Send us the full code if you want

12 
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event")

game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputBegan:connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
        event:FireServer() -- if it's a remote event, if it's a function do :InvokeServer()
    end
end)

then on the server do :

game.ReplicatedStorage.Event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)
--what goes here, will be shown to everyone
end)
13

i think I’m fine i just wanted to know how useful Remote event and functions where

14

oh it’s that easy that’s not to bad

15

Please notice to the last edit I did,

Don’t forget to add ‘player’ as the 1st argument on the server :
game.ReplicatedStorage.Event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)

16

With that, you could print the player’s name, kill the player, and so much more.

Remember to use Connect() in place of connect().

Does it have case sensitive? By far it worked perfectly in both cases

19

i tried the code it was amazing

connect() is deprecated according to the wiki
