How to use module scripts with Remote Events?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am in the middle of working on a game and wanted to re-organize my scripts. I don’t know how to use the Client-Server connection between ModuleScripts and Local/Server scripts. Does anyone care to explain, give a sample of code? Or just send a youtube tutorial that has ModuleScripts being used with FilteringEnabled.

Any help is appreciated and I’d be very thankful.

Modules and RemoteEvents/Functions are not inherently tied or related in any way. Could you be more specific on what you mean?

Like, how would I do

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,otherarguments)

in a ModuleScript? Because you need to run the function from somewhere, and I need the modules to pick up Remote requests.

Once you require the module the code should run normally.

If a client uses a module script on their machine, it can turn out in two ways:

The module returns data for the local script to send to the server

Local Script

local Module = require(script.Module)

RemoteEvent:FireServer(Module:GetData())

Module Script

local module = {}

function module:GetData()
    return true
end

return module

Server Script

RemoteEvent.Invoked:Connect(function(Data)
    print(Data) --Prints true
end)

The local script tells the module script to send the data to the server

Local Script

local Module = require(script.Module)
Module:SendServerData(true)

Module Script

local module = {}

function module:SendServerData(Data)
    RemoteEvent:FireServer(Data)
end

return module

Server Script

RemoteEvent.Invoked:Connect(function(Data)
    print(Data) --Prints true
end)

These are all just examples and may not work, but at least you have an idea on how Remote Events and modules could communicate.

How to properly use remote functions with module scripts?
#6

I personally just store functions in my modules and, on the core server script, connect those functions to events like:

--ModuleScript
local module = {};

module.test = function(plrInput)
    print(plrInput);
end

return module;

--ServerCoreScript
local module = require(script.TestModule);

someRemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(module.test);

The good side to this is, with a bit of logic code, I can use one RemoteEvent for my entire game.

I hope you find your solution!
