How do I communicate in multiple Actors?

Hello, is there currently a way to use luau to implement signal in multiple threads (without using bindableevent)?
I’m implementing a signal and I can’t modify the value in multiple threads by looking up because of the luau single thread single env.

The project is progressing I’m using sharedTable to document script sources

local Actor: Actor = nil -- Path to actor

Actor:BindToMessage() or Actor:BindToMessageParallel() -- get messages (usually I don't use parallel)

Actor:SendMessage() -- send messages

thank you. I haven’t tried your method yet

function Signal:FireParallel(sc, ...)
	print(MUI_ACTORS_CALLBACKS)
	for i=1, SharedTable.size(MUI_ACTORS_CALLBACKS) do
		local currentSources = MUI_ACTORS_CALLBACKS[i]
		f
	end
end
function Signal:ConnectParallel(sc: Script, func)
	local actor = sc:GetActor()
	
	local connectionSources = string.split(debug.info(2, "s"), ".")
	local connection = {
		func = func,
		connected = true,
		Disconnect = function()
			
		end,
	}
	if actor then
		
		MUI_ACTORS_CALLBACKS[SharedTable.size(MUI_ACTORS_CALLBACKS) + 1] = connectionSources
		actor:BindToMessageParallel(connectionSources, func)
	end
	return connection
end

now I can retrieve listeners from another actor

You should mark my post as the solution if you don’t have the issue anymore (if I helped; if I didn’t help, mark your own post as the solution)
