Whats the best way to get client to specific client results

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so for example a client sends a event to a specific client, then the client sends back the result to the sender client

bindablefunctions have no specific target to fire and im just a bit confused on what to use

and i tried to use remote events to fire the specific target but im not show how i can return the result back to the original sender because its 2 events

any help appreciated!

sorry for poor explanation)

If you want to fire a specific event for a specific client, you can use the :FireClient() function. As for sending an event to the player that called the original event, you can still use :FireClient() as one of the parameters of .OnClientEvent is the player that fired the original event.

You can use that player parameter from .OnClientEvent to incorporate it into :FireClient(), in order to fire an event back to the original sender.

You can find out more about :FireClient() and .OnClientEvent here:

you could use remotefunctions like

local remoteFunc = --your remote function

local data = remoteFunc:InvokeClient(plr,"you can add arguments if you want too")

and now on the other client script

local remoteFunc = --remote function

remoteFunc.OnClientInvoke = function(argument)
    if argument == "you can add arguments if you want too" then
      return true
    else
      return false
  end
end

this is going to make data equal to true so

back to the first client script

if data then --if data is true
  print("lebron james")
end

but still i recommend not having 5000 client scripts everywhere cause there is really no point in having 2 completely different client scripts unless they are each for completely different reasons
