How to Use Remote Events in Roblox Studio

– Roblox studio Remote Events

Remote Events in Roblox Studio allow for communication between the server and clients. They enable sending and receiving data across different parts of the game, such as triggering actions when a player interacts with an object.

Creating a Remote Event

1. If you don’t have it alreaddy then, open Explorer and Properties (View > Explorer & View > Properties).
2. Inside ReplicatedStorage, create a new RemoteEvent (Right-click > Insert Object > RemoteEvent).
3. Name the RemoteEvent (excample, MyRemoteEvent).

Using Remote Events In Roblox Studio

Remote Events work in two ways:

• Client to Server
• Server to Client

Client to Server Communication

Used when the client needs to inform the server of an action.

Client-Side (LocalScript)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MyRemoteEvent")

local function sendToServer()
    remoteEvent:FireServer("Hello Server!")
end

sendToServer()

Server-Side (Script in ServerScriptService)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MyRemoteEvent")

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, message)
    print(player.Name .. " says: " .. message)
end)

Server to Client Communication

Used when the server needs to send data to a specific client.

Server-Side (Script in ServerScriptService)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MyRemoteEvent")

local function sendToClient(player)
    remoteEvent:FireClient(player, "Hello Client!")
end

-- Example: Sending message when player joins
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    sendToClient(player)
end)

Client-Side (LocalScript)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MyRemoteEvent")

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message)
    print("Server says: " .. message)
end)

Using Remote Events for All Clients

To broadcast a message to all players, use FireAllClients() on the server:

remoteEvent:FireAllClients("Hello Everyone!")
