Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to wait until a remote event's script has ended? The question speaks for itself. If you'd like, please look through my scripts. It should make it quite obvious what I am trying to achieve.

Note that the delays are a bad and temporary solution. Thank you for your help, it is appreciated.

Local script in StarterGui.

--// Variables

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui

local ServerTextGui = PlayerGui.ServerText
local ServerTextLabel = ServerTextGui.Frame.Text

local NPCTextGui = PlayerGui.NPCtext
local NPCTextLabel = NPCTextGui.Frame.Frame.Text

local PlayerTextGui = PlayerGui.PlayerText
local PlayerTextLabel = PlayerTextGui.Frame.Frame.Text

local TextSound = script.TextSound
local NPCText = RepStorage:WaitForChild("NPCText")
local PlayerText = RepStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerText")
local ServerText = RepStorage:WaitForChild("ServerText")

--// Functions

ServerText.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Text)
	print("[SERVER] ServerTextEvent fired.")
	local GuiType = ServerTextGui
	local GuiText = Text
	GuiType.Frame.Visible = true
	for i = 1, #GuiText do
		ServerTextLabel.Text = string.sub(GuiText, 1, i)
		TextSound:Play()
		wait(0.05)
	end
	wait(2)
	ServerTextLabel.Text = ""
	ServerTextGui.Frame.Visible = false
end)


NPCText.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Text)
	print("[SERVER] NPCTextEvent fired.")
	local GuiType = NPCTextGui
	local GuiText = Text
	GuiType.Frame.Visible = true
	for i = 1, #GuiText do
		NPCTextLabel.Text = string.sub(GuiText, 1, i)
		TextSound:Play()
		wait(0.05)
	end
	wait(2)
	NPCTextLabel.Text = ""
	NPCTextGui.Frame.Visible = false
end)

PlayerText.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Text)
	print("[SERVER] PlayerTextEvent fired.")
	local GuiType = PlayerTextGui
	local GuiText = Text
	
	local RandomPlayer = Players:GetPlayers()
	local SelectedPlayer = math.random(1,#RandomPlayer)
	local PlayerName = RandomPlayer[SelectedPlayer]
	
	local ThumbnailType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local ThumbnailSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	
	local PlayerImage, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(PlayerName.UserId, ThumbnailType, ThumbnailSize)
	GuiType.Frame.Player.Image = PlayerImage
	GuiType.Frame.Visible = true
	
	for i = 1, #GuiText do
		PlayerTextLabel.Text = string.sub(GuiText, 1, i)
		TextSound:Play()
		wait(0.05)
	end
	wait(2)
	PlayerTextLabel.Text = ""
	PlayerTextGui.Frame.Visible = false
end)

Server script in ServerScriptService.

--// Variables

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local NPCText = RepStorage:WaitForChild("NPCText")
local PlayerText = RepStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerText")
local ServerText = RepStorage:WaitForChild("ServerText")

local Text = ""

--//

Text = "Come with me, I'll show you the way."
NPCText:FireAllClients(Text)
wait(5) -- Unwanted manual delay, a wait-until remote event is finished-type of function should be here instead.

Text = "Follow your tour guide, Nathan. Be on the look-out for useful items!"
