I need to know how remote function works?
So like I need to create a script to take items out of an inventory and clone a block and change the position using mouse movements and mouse.hit.position
a lot of work.
But I figured I need a RemoteFunction based off of what the wiki says because I want to send variable arguments from the client to the server and change some of those arguments in the server script and then send them back into the client.
I really don't know how RemoteFunctions work. I looked at the wiki about it and found about InvokeServer and InvokeClient and OnServerInvoke
I figured it would work like this
-- local script local remotefunction = wherever.it.is --<code, functions, if statements, variables> remotefunction:InvokeServer(Variable1, Variable2)
then we go to a server script
--server script local remotefunction = wherever.it.is remotefunction.OnServerInvoked = function(Variable1, Variable2) if Variable1 = false then end end
Basically, how do you send variables over with InvokeServer and OnServerInvoked.
All I need is a small and simple example. My brain is big but not big enough to understand the small example on the wiki

You do have a basic idea of how it works but there's some small details missing.
Localscript:
RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(var1, var2)
Server script:
RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player, var1, var2)
Note that the OnServerInvoke always automatically passes the player. This is so you know who fired the remote function. The exact same idea also applies to remote events.

--In a Script
local remotefunction = insert_remote_function_here
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local x = remotefunction:InvokeClient(plr, true) --Invokes the joining player's client
print(x)
end)
--In a localscript
local remotefunction = insert_remote_function_here
remotefunction.OnServerInvoke:Connect(function(example_bool) --The client was invoked by server
if example_bool == true then
return "you rang?" --returns a string
end
end)
