RemoteManager

RemoteManager is a small Roblox Luau module for ensuring remote objects exist and are exposed from a shared ReplicatedStorage.RemoteManager container.

This package loads remote event and function names from the local ReplicatedStorage.RemoteManager.Events and ReplicatedStorage.RemoteManager.Functions modules, creates missing remote instances on the server, and returns a shared table with the resolved remote objects.

Features

• Automatically creates missing RemoteEvent and RemoteFunction instances on the server
• Uses a single init module to expose shared remote objects
• Supports local client access by waiting for existing remote objects when not running on the server

Installation

Install the package with wally:

wally add ptekspy/RemoteManager

Requirements

• Roblox game with ReplicatedStorage
• A RemoteManager folder inside ReplicatedStorage
• A child folder Events with a module named Events
• A child folder Functions with a module named Functions

Each module should return an array of string names for the remotes to load.

Folder structure

The package expects the following runtime structure in ReplicatedStorage:

ReplicatedStorage
└── RemoteManager
    ├── Events
    │   └── Events (ModuleScript returning an array of event names)
    └── Functions
        └── Functions (ModuleScript returning an array of function names)

Usage

Require the package module from your Luau code:

local RemoteManager = require(path.to.RemoteManager.init)

After loading the module, the returned table contains:

• RemoteManager.Root - the script folder used as the root in the package
• RemoteManager.EventsFolder - the ReplicatedStorage.RemoteManager.Events folder
• RemoteManager.FunctionsFolder - the ReplicatedStorage.RemoteManager.Functions folder
• RemoteManager.<EventName> - a RemoteEvent instance for each event name returned by the Events module
• RemoteManager.<FunctionName> - a RemoteFunction instance for each function name returned by the Functions module

Example:

local RemoteManager = require(path.to.RemoteManager.init)

local playerJoinEvent = RemoteManager.PlayerJoined
local getProfileFunction = RemoteManager.GetProfile

playerJoinEvent:FireClient(player)
local result = getProfileFunction:InvokeClient(player)

Server and client behavior

• On the server, missing remotes are created automatically in the appropriate folder.
• On the client, the module waits for the remote instance to appear if it is not already present.

Development

This package is a Luau module located in src/init.luau and is configured for use with wally.
