Remote Event Running two requests at the same time

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have 2 text buttons that have call the same remote event but request different things.
When I write in the server script just one of the two requests, it will work just fine, but when I try adding both, it’ll either run both of the scripts at the same time when I clicked only one button, or it’ll run one of the requirements when I click either button.

I would make two remote events if I needed to do only 2 commands. I need to make 100 of these, which is why I went with this route.

}
--Attempt one. When I click either of the two buttons, both prints will show in the output at the same time.
--I want it so that if I click button one, one 1 print will show, and if I hit button two, the second print will show. 
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	if (Requests["Zone1Test"]) then
		Requests["Zone1Test"]()
		print("1 Reaced the server")
	end
	
	if (Requests["Zone2Test"]) then
		Requests["Zone2Test"]()
		print("2 Reaced the server")
	end
end)

--Attempt two, when clicking either button, only the first print will show. 
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	if (Requests["Zone1Test"]) then
		Requests["Zone1Test"]()
		print("1 Reaced the server")
	elseif (Requests["Zone2Test"]) then
		Requests["Zone2Test"]()
		print("2 Reaced the server")
	end
end)

If there’s any confusion, I’ll explain it more of course.

If you want to use the same remote then send a parameter to the server to check against the Request dictionary.

Can you show an example? You don’t have to do it for me, it can just be a mock to show me what you mean

so when you send a remote you can send parameters like so:

Event:FireServer("hello")

then you can define the parameter in the function of the OnServerEvent connection

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, param)

Note: when the server is receiving an event the player param is always before the rest of the params.

I see what you mean, but each function in the request dictionary is lead to a different part so I can’t just use the same function and define the parameter because I need the aimed part defined as well (Unless I’m able to do that with the parameter as well. I’m no good in this field so I wouldn’t know)

#6

You can just index a part with the param sent from the client.

#7

I don’t understand sorry (adding this for extra characters)

#8

By chance you have called Event.OnServerEvent:Connect more than once? If so, you must disconnect the connection before creating another connection.

#9

Not at all. That’s the only one.

#10

From the looks of it, it seems like Requests["Zone1Test"] is true which results in the first print always running. Maybe try setting that statement to false so the second print statement can print.

#11 
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, zoneTestString)
	if (Requests[zoneTestString]) then
		Requests[zoneTestString]()
	end
end)

well, I need them to print at the click of a button so wouldn’t changing that to false be making that unusable?
