Remote events In Combat/Gun Systems

[talkingpotato5000]

Is it more better using individual remote events if theyre going to be fired a lot by players in the tools, or use a single remote for everyone? Does it make a difference? And if I do use one remote, how would I go around with adding a cooldown for whoever fires the remote, and not the remote for everyone else?

How I prevent remote spam using tick and the guns firerate:

	if (tick() - delay < gun.rate) then
		return
	end

What could I do to make this cd for whoever fired the remote and not the remote?

TL;DR watch the parameters and data being sent for both methods.

ORE (One Remote Event)

Actually I did tests at one point, and it can use quite a bit less data if you queue up a bunch of remote calls and send them at the end of the frame using a single remote call. Although to see this improvement, identifier keys will need to either be numbers, or all encoded into a binary string. My game creates identifier keys automatically by connecting custom client objects in the same order as server objects; This means the game can connect potentially thousands of private replication signal…

You can use a dictionary to track the tick() for each player like the module below:

Rate limiter module for Remotes

Hello there! Exploiters often try to spam your remotes to see if they exceed the limit the server can handle and causing it to crash. In general, it is good practice to limit the rate of your remotes to prevent that behavior. This module should make this process very easy for you. What it does: This module I made allows you to easily set a maximum request rate for your RemoteEvents or RemoteFunctions. With this module, you can simply ignore requests if your set maximum rate is exceeded by the…
