Could someone explain Remote Functions to me?
I'm fairly new to scripting and I've just grasped the idea of Remote Events, however I'm rather confused about callbacks and Remote Functions. If anybody could explain like I'm five, that'd be greatly appreciated!

RemoteFunctions are usefull in many ways, for example getting information from server
(I personally use it in my games to get RemoteKeys from server)
Here is an example:
Server Script
1 | local TableWithData = {1,2,3} |
2 |
3 | remotefunction.OnServerInvoke = function(CalledBy, ...) |
4 | return TableWithData |
5 | end) |
Local Script
1 | local Data = remotefunction:InvokeServer() -- Gets TableWithData |
2 |
3 | print(unpack(Data)) -- 1,2,3 |
Note: What I provided is not the best explanation in the world. I would recommend checking it out at https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/RemoteFunction
