How do i make sure that before firing an event, every script is listening to the event?

Pretty explanatory by the title itself, i tried putting task.wait(2) and it worked perfectly fine but i want to be sure that every script is “Ready” before the main script fires the event otherwise some scripts may miss the event being fired

2

maybe using waitforchild?

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitforChild("RemoteEvent")
if Event then
print("Event ready to be fired.")
end

Wait what is the difference between :Fire() and :FireAll() ?

oh nvm i can’t use :FireAll() inside a bindable event

Mostly the situation is that the “MainScript” fires the even too fast, it has to wait for atleast the scripts to have done, the listener ones, They all are childrens so maybe something about WaitForChild?

last time i tried waiting for remote events my code would yield infinitely 100% of the time

Maybe if you check if the scripts are loaded, and if they are, fire the event?

Basically i have this script

UpdateInventoryEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(updatedInventory)
	currentPlayerInventory = updatedInventory
	bindable:Fire(currentPlayerInventory)
	print("Fired")
end)

bindable is the bindable event, since it gets the “OnClientEvent” too fast, it sends the script as soon as the player joins, i want to make sure that this script “Fires” the currentPlayerInventory AFTER all the scripts have initialized, or atleast are ready to get the event

yeah but bindable event doesn’t have :FireAll()

I feel like this is more of a logic issue and not a coding issue.

The problem here is that the event gets fired too fast so you need to implement something that waits for the other scripts to be loaded to fire the event.

For this you can use something like an Attribute and once the player is fully loaded you switch the value of said Attribute to true. Now, before the bindable event is fired it should wait for the player loaded attribute to be true. Example:

UpdateInventoryEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(updatedInventory)
	currentPlayerInventory = updatedInventory
    repeat wait(.5) until player:GetAttribute("PlayerLoaded")
	bindable:Fire(currentPlayerInventory)
	print("Fired")
end)

I don’t know if my explanation was clear or if this was what you were looking for as a solution. Hope this helped!

yeah doing CharacterAppearanceLoaded worked

Code:

UpdateInventoryEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(updatedInventory)
	plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function()
		currentPlayerInventory = updatedInventory
		bindable:Fire(currentPlayerInventory)
		print("Fired")
	end)
end)

for anyone trying this solution: It plays only if the character is fully loaded, in my situation it is perfect
