How, and even can I return a value from RemoteEvent?
For example, I want to grab a player's leaderstat value in Script.
`Script`:
game.ReplicatedStorage.GetWord:FireClient(plr)
and then:
`LocalScript`:
game.ReplicatedStorage.GetWord.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
return "Hello world!"
end)
Then, in Script, print (GetWord) should print "Hello World", because that's what Local is returning. Can it be done like this?
Also: tip for other-language programmers: That should look like (in Java):
public static void getWord(){
return "Hellow world!"
}
in another class:
System.out.println(getWord())

No, (unless resending the remote); but you can however use remote functions, which are exactly made for that
Okay so how? Explain Remote Functions then, never used them..
conceptually, they are very similar but instead of FireServer you use InvokeServer and instead of OnServerEvent use OnServerInvoke, vice versa, but you cant connect a function to it, instead assign it, then return whatever values you wish, it also yields the thread it was invoked from
Thanks, real helpful. Also, why not a answer? I could accept it and we would be both happy :P
