Using bindableEvents with multiple scripts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I recently learned about bindable events and read about how they can only be subscribed to 1 script at a time, what does this mean, that only 1 script can use an event? That they will yield until the other script finishes with the event? if the former is true how could i circumvent that?

#2

Its like this:

--Server script 1
local bindableEvent = -- event path here

bindableEvent:Fire()


--server script 2

local bindableEvent = -- same event path here

bindableEvent.Event:Connect(function()
       print("Event works!")
end)

Its basically a server to server way of communication. You use Fire instead of FireServer and Event instead of OnServerEvent

yeah but only 1 script at a time can do that right?

#4

I’m pretty sure only one script can call an event at a time, yes.

and what happens if you use more than one script calling on the event?

#6

I have never tried that before. I think @EgnimaticDevil has a better reply.

I think you can just use it the same as a remote event just add a Statement for each connection so they don’t overlap with each other

Can you show me an example? i’m not sure i understand how and if statement could solve that.

like

Event:Fire("E1")

local bindableEvent = -- same event path here

bindableEvent.Event:Connect(function(Arg)
       if Arg == "E1" then
        print("Fired Event with E1 Statement")
       end
end)

---Lets say below is an Separate script

local bindableEvent = -- same event path here

bindableEvent.Event:Connect(function(Arg)
       if Arg == "E2" then
        print("Fired Event with E2 Statement")
       end
end)

Oh wait you meant firing nvm.

#11

So I could establish a queue system for the events so they don’t overlap?

#12

I don’t really use bindable event that much so I’m not quite knowledgeable about it, all I know is I can use it like an remote event

#13

Ok i did some research and it seems that the whole subscribing thing is only for bindablefunctions, which actually makes sense.

#14

im just curious but what are you using the bindable events for? i dont see people using them a lot so im just wondering what might be good situations for them

I’m making a card game so i need to signal when some things happen like when the player plays a card or ends their turn. So bindableEvents are easier than messing around with remoteEvents and localscripts.
