I have a notepad containing everything I want to learn about scripting so I can expand my scripting knowledge slowly but surely.
I learned about Remote Events and how I can use them to fire events, but I haven’t really learned about Bindable Events, and Im a bit confused on how they work and what’s the difference between them and Remotes.
I also want to know, in what cases should I use these “difference” events, and why.
BindableEvents are used to communicate with Scripts of the same type as the one called.
For example, if I fire a RemoteEvent from the Client, who receives the Call is the Server, if I do this with the Server, the Client specified who receives the Call is the Client
With the BindableEvent, if I call through the Client just another script of the same type as the one that gave “Fire”, which in this case is the Client, it can receive the Call, if I give Fire through the Client, the Client receives it, if I fire through the server only who receives is the Server.
Better example:
Lines with X is why they can’t communicate.
BindableEvent
Client -----X---- Server
Client ----------- Client
Server -----X---- Client
Server ----------- Server
Remote Event
Client --------- Server
Client ------X----- Client
Server --------- Client
Server ------X---- Server
I hope it made you understand.
Bindable Event:
ServerScript/Server > ServerScript/Server
LocalScript/Client > LocalScript/Client
Remote Event:
ServerScript/Server > LocalScript/Client
LocalScript/Client > ServerScript/Server
Do you have any examples where I can use them in a script?
RemoteEvent is almost the same thing, you pass parameters and it executes, but remember the Rule, RemoteEvent is of different types and BindableEvent are of equal types only.
Could you also explain how this works?
for i = Timer, 0, -1 do
end
Because I’ve never seen 3 parts in a for loop, and Im also not sure how it works.
for i = Timer, 0, -1 do
end
i – is equal to the index so number
0 – is the end Goal
-1 – is by how much it should subtract
So it just counts down from 30 until it hits the end goal which is zero
Hope that helps
