How do roblox servers receive packets?
Hello,
I'm wondering how a roblox server would take in packets from an external source, such as a server I manage, or a website address. I'm very new to networking, and I want to be able to send strings/booleans to variables in game.

you want to receive http data correct? Raccoonyz 1092 — 3y

Edit: Not trying to hack/modify servers, instead attempting to send data to a datastore from a secure source. wowbigplays 0 — 3y

It's a little tricky to receive data - much easier to grab data. However, it is possible. One way is to constantly have the Roblox server send GET requests, but never provide anything until you need to give it some stuff. An easier way would be to just have a loop that would check for new updates in a database. This would require a hefty delay though.

It's fairly easy if you have knowledge of node.js. Raccoonyz 1092 — 3y
