What is FilteringEnabled, RemoteEvents, and RemoteFunctions?

May 4th, 2020

Hello,

I hear super much when you hear FilteringEnabled, RemoteEvnents, and RemoteFunctions. Why do we use them? Why are they useful? I want to know. If someone tells me, Thank you!

Sincerely,

filtering enabled is a game setting that is automatically turned on it blocks client changes from replicating to the server for EX:

tim is using a exploit to change the song playing

with filtering off: the exploit will change the song for everyone (on the server) with filtering on: the exploit will not replicate to the server (only tim hears the song)

turning filtering on is a first step to stopping hacks and exploits

remote events and functions are basically the way local and server scripts can communicate both events and functions are like a signal but functions can pass on additional data

for EX:

events:

when you shoot a gun, the local script in the gun will signal the server via a event when the server detects the event, it will create the bullet and move it

functions:

on the screen, there are gui buttons to make a part with a color that is selected from a list by the player the buttons signal the server via the function, but also pass on the color with the function the server will detect the function and create a new part with the input color
