Efficiency with Remote Events

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Is it faster and more secure to check a client’s information and then update it to all clients through the server, or to check a client’s information and then send another event to each client to update it themselves?

#2

What use case do you have to be checking the clients information?

I mean when the client sends information to the server, is it faster to send that information to other clients for processing, or faster to use the server.

For example,

-- Update the position of the character that moved
		for i = 1, #players, 1 do
			local characters = players[i].PlayerGui.World.Environment.Characters
			
			if characters:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then
				characters:FindFirstChild(player.Name).Position = UDim2.new(
					tonumber(xPlayerPosition), 
					0, 
					tonumber(yPlayerPosition), 
					0
				)
			end
		end

Whether you send it to other clients or using the server. I believe its the same speed.

#6

I actually believe I don’t have an alternative to this. If the clients were to update the position of the player it wouldn’t actually change on the server for me to keep track of things.

#7

Anything the client does to there character such as speed and position will replicate to the server.

Not so in my game. I have redone Roblox’s 3D engine to 2D.
