Server-Synced events

[Nyxifier (nyxon)]

Hey! Do you think that this module is useful for simple, ocassional (random) and player triggered events, or is there a simpler way how to achieve this?

I basically want to make all servers synchronized events, such as robbing a bank. For example, if I was to rob the bank in one server, it would make it be unable to get robbed in other servers, etcetera. I’m simply just not talking about script forced, time scheduled and frequent events, such as the mentioned daily shop rotations.

Thanks for any answers!

I mean really depends how you want to implement this in the game.

You said:

Really depends where are you going with this I don’t see a reason why not as long as it works!

Just think of something that players can do in the mean time while they wait.

How could I add a global pet serial system to my game?

Wouldnt every server have different “data” for a shared key? If a player is only on one server at a time, the player’s data on that the server is therefore the correct updated data. But if multiple servers are accessing a key at the same time, you can’t rely on this. And with SetAsync, there is a possibility of collision.

Well that’s the thing… I don’t know if it will work, that’s why I asked here

Isn’t that DataStore basically? Not really what I’m looking for, but thanks

You can use data store to reserve the event for your server while it’s happening. MessagingService is used to fire events across all servers.
How are either of these not what you’re looking for?

Didn’t notice MessagingService, my bad. Something like that could work tho, but not messages directly. And for the DataStore, I do not need to save any data for the synced event. Just simply need to “fire” an event/function into all servers.
