How would I make a remote event fire once every second?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I am trying to make a game that has an intermission and a game timer e.t.c. Only problem is if new players join, they will not be updated to the current time. So how would I loop that every second while running the timer script?

#2

while wait(1) do
RemoveEvent:FireServer()/FireClient()
end

#3

You should only need to fire once when the player joins. You would fire the remaining time of the minigame at the tick time, so something like this:

--Server
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local timeLeft = 1000
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    event:FireClient(player,timeLeft,tick())
end)

--Client
local TimeLeft
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(timeLeft,serverTick)
    timeLeft = timeLeft - (tick() - serverTick)
    if timeLeft <= 0 then
        print("Round has ended when player started")
    end
end)

while wait(1) do
    if timeLeft then
        if timeLeft > 0 then
            timeLeft = timeLeft - 1
        end
    end
end

No like adding on to my other script

#5

Wait so like this will fire a remote event every second?

#6

No it will fire when the player joins or a new round starts, so it is less laggy and doesn;t exhaust your remote calling limit

#7

Where are you firing this? Server or Client

#8

Im firing the remote event on the server side

#9

Then use FireAllCIients

You could place the “time” as a IntValue in ReplicatedStorage (The Value will obviously be the time).

And from there, you could run this in your LocalScript somewhere:

while true do
  wait() --It will instantly update the value
   
  --[[Your Timer Label = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value

Example:

script.Parent.Text = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value
]]--

end

(Make sure your handling “the timer” in a Script so it can’t be messed with client-sided)

I am already using :FireAllClients. I just need it so that it fires every second or so

#12

So just this:

while (true) do
wait(1)
REMOTEVENTPATH:FireAllClients(yourargs)
end
#13

Add a wait(1)??? 30 charssssssss

#14

No but like I already have a script that works the intermission and game timer, so how do I combine the two so that it still fires every second?

#15

Just make an IntValue in ReplicatedStorage, change it every second on the server, and then the client will be able to access that IntValue with the value changed every second.

#16

repeat
game.ReplicatedStorage.Event:FireAllClients(
wait(1)
until false

#17

Are you firing it from the client or the server?

#18

To perform multiple tasks at the same time within the same script, try using coroutines. This will allow for multiple threads.

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()		

	while wait(1) do
		remoteevent:FireAllClients()
	end

end))
#19

I’m firing from server (30 chars)

Where would I put the rest of my code?
