Client instantly returns server with false every time?
Basically I invoke the client on the server to show a prompt GUI with two buttons "Yes" and "No". I want to make it return either false or true to what they pick, but whenever I put the return true and return false in their respective MouseButton1Click functions, the ClientInvoke function instantly returns with false every time no matter if you pick true or false or if you even pick any of them. I'm pretty new to RemoteFunctions so any help would be appreciated.
events = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").GameEvents.BankRobbery
promptcontainer = script.Parent:WaitForChild("PromptContainer")
events.PromptBankRobbery.OnClientInvoke = function()
promptcontainer.Visible = true
promptcontainer.Yes.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
promptcontainer.Visible = false
return true
end)
promptcontainer.No.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
promptcontainer.Visible = false
return false
end)
end

It's actually most likely returning nil, not false. This is because your return statements return from your anonymous functions, but not from the OnClientInvoke function. To fix this, you must find a way to tell OnClientInvoke what to return.
Furthermore, you should disconnect your connections once you are done with them, otherwise you may run into problems.
Here's one way to solve this problem:
events = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").GameEvents.BankRobbery
promptcontainer = script.Parent:WaitForChild("PromptContainer")
events.PromptBankRobbery.OnClientInvoke = function()
promptcontainer.Visible = true
local returnValue -- Declare a return value variable.
local yesConnection, noConnection -- Declare our connection variables.
yesConnection = promptcontainer.Yes.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
-- Disconnect our connectionis now that a button has been clicked.
yesConnection:disconnect()
noConnection:disconnect()
promptcontainer.Visible = false
returnValue = true -- Set our return value for OnClientInvoke
end)
noConnection = promptcontainer.No.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
yesConnection:disconnect()
noConnection:disconnect()
promptcontainer.Visible = false
returnValue = false
end)
while returnValue == nil do wait() end -- Wait until a button is clicked.
return returnValue -- Now actually return the value you want.
end
