What is :Friends()?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I see it used all the time in code, here is an example.
What is it? What does it do? Why it? I’ve never seen anything about it so some education would be gladly appreciated.

events.CreateWorld.OnServerEvent:Friends(function(plr)
	if not joiningWorld then
		joiningWorld = true
		local worldId = createWorld(plr.UserId, plr.Name)
		TeleportService:Teleport(worldId, plr)
	end
end)

roblox lua doesn’t contain a :Friends() connector.
but you may be able to find what you’re looking for in the TeleportService documentation:

RemoteEvent? Buddy where did you find this code

Assuming CreateWorld is a RemoteEvent, this code is not valid. .OnServerEvent of RemoteEvents are RBXScriptSignals, which do not have any method called :Friends, they only have the :Connect, :ConnectParallel, :Once and :Wait methods. You can read more about them here:

Took me way too long to realise this was a joke about Roblox renaming Friends to “Connections” :man_facepalming:

sorry guys for wasting your time :sob:
this post WAS serious, but i had a tampermonkey script installed that would automatically rename Connections to Friends and because of that it would rename everything on the Roblox domain (including the devforum and stuff like that) that included ‘Connect’ to Friends and i only remembered that now because of this reply, i thought it was some new roblox thing that everybody was using or something :skull:
uhh this thread can honestly be closed mb
