  1. I tried going on the devhub but that didn’t really help much.

Do you just want to know how this works?

Well, you invoke the server on the client with RemoteFunction:InvokeServer()
(which is the intended use of this, server>client>server is risky)

local remoteValue = RemoteFunction:InvokeServer()

the server connects the invoke to a function,

RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke:Connect(function()
 return "Hello, world!"
end)

--OR

local function MyFunction()
 return "Hello, world!"
end

RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke:Connect(MyFunction)

returns a value, part, or anything else (in this case it’s the string “Hello, world!”)

And the client can use that value for whatever it wants.

local remoteValue = RemoteFunction:InvokeServer()

print(remoteValue)

RemoteFunctions are like RemoteEvents, but the server can communicate back to the client (2 way communication)

Is that what you were confused about?

Okoh so it’s basically like 2-way communicate

Alright cool I thought something else

Anyways thank you

2 way communication between scripts of differing classes only, one script invokes another through "InvokeClient()/InvokeServer(), the other script sets up an event listener which is the corresponding On[Server/Client]Invoke event.
