Remote Functions - Scripting Tutorial

Learn how to use Remote Functions in Roblox with this video. Remote Functions are used to trigger actions on the server from the client and to return back information from the server to the client, like two way communication. Unlike RemoteEvents, RemoteFunctions can send information back to the client, such as items in a shop stored on the server, or whether a transaction was a success or not. Because of this , a RemoteFunction yields, which means it won't run any more code on the client/server it was invoked on until it gets a result returned back. A RemoteEvent cannot return information and so doesn't yield. It immediately continues with the script when it fires to the server/client.

Even after 2 years of scripting, I still find my way back to here for references of stuff I forgot. Your tutorials and explanations are honestly great. When I first started scripting you helped me out a lot. Thank you.

Please make a shop that refreshes every 24 hours and puts random items in it every time it refreshes,

Edit: Thanks for the heart ❤️

[payjay]

Wow your tutorials are great! I’ve been inside some games studios and looked at the code and been totally lost besides a few things from common sense, i know this is an old video but just watching your studio explanations up to this point the last couple days ive learned a lot, you explain everything step by step very thoroughly

[tycopes]

I have been stuck on a problem for countless hours, and Remote Functions finally solved it. I can't thank you enough.

Alvin, I was looking to do a server-client connection using like 5 scripts but then I found this tutorial! Thank you!

[NateDaBestest]

You’ve fixed my understanding of this to the point where I actually accomplished something in my game, thank you much ;D

i was used to hearing your kid voice, im guessing it was your old videos, BUT DANG I NEVER HEARD UR VOICE NOW AND I WAS SHOCKED XD, love your vids tho they help me out alot keep up the good work

[elenacalota]

Alvin, your voice has changed so much. Also, can you do a tutorial on how to make your own RPG? If you will, thank you alot!

[ancant]

Hey alvin, I think you forgot to mention how you can use the returns without an if statement. Like if it returns a string you can concatenate the string into a value. But anyways great video. I hope you can teach more people to script like you partially did for me :)

[bromoment]

Right now I'm making a game and looking at all your videos to guide me through. Thanks so much for these tutorials.

[blackguy]
