How do ObjectValues work?

Asked Feb 11, 2016214 views1 answers

Is it like a shortcut to get something? Like this below:

local ObjectValue = Instace.new("ObjectValue")
ObjectValue.Value = game.Workspace.Part

--Would doing:
game.Workspace.Part:Destroy()
--be the same as:
ObjectValue.Value:Destroy()
--????

✓ Accepted answer

Object values are typically used to communicate objects between scripts. For example, if you want to change the properties of a part and you're using a local script, but filtering wnabled prevents you from doing so, you can change the object value to the object you want changed, and have a server script with a changed event manipulate the object using the given object value. However, his is not the always most efficient method anymore, with the cresting of remote events and remote functions.
