Yielding remote events

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a script on the client for a moveset system. I have a variable called active that is a universal cooldown of sorts so you can’t use two moves at the same time. I have a remote event for the move. Something like this:

local active = false

button.ImagineISetUpCAS:Connect(function())
   if not active then
      active = true
      game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
      active = false
   end)
end

I want active to only be set to false again after the move is finished, so after everything in the remote event function is done running. Basically, I want the local script (like this example) to yield to the remote event.
Is there a way to do this? Do I have to use remote functions and just return nothing?

If you want a direct answer to your question, use remote functions, but I suggest you don’t do this on the client. You should have these checks on the server.

#3

I do, I just also do them on the client so that the server knows when a move request wasn’t done through the specific local script and thus is likely an exploiter

#4

You can also set up a remote that the server fires to the client, telling it the move is done and to set active to false
