Remotes

Networker supports both RemoteEvent and UnreliableRemoteEvent with the same simple API.

RemoteEvent

Creating a Remote

Server

local Networker = require(Packages.Networker)

Networker.init()

local Chat = Networker.newRemote("Chat")

Getting a Remote

Client

local Networker = require(Packages.Networker)

Networker.init()

local Chat = Networker.getRemote("Chat")

Sending Events

-- Client → Server
Chat:FireServer("Hello Server!")

-- Server → Client
Chat:FireClient(player, "Hello Client!")

-- Server → All Clients
Chat:FireAllClients("Welcome!")

Listening for Events

Server

Chat:OnServerEvent(function(player, message)
	print(player.Name, message)
end)

Client

Chat:OnClientEvent(function(message)
	print(message)
end)

---

UnreliableRemoteEvent

UnreliableRemoteEvent is designed for high-frequency data where occasional packet loss is acceptable.

Examples include:

• Character movement
• Camera updates
• Aim direction
• Visual effects
• Cosmetic updates

Creating an Unreliable Remote

Server

local Position = Networker.newUnreliableRemoteEvent("Position")

Getting an Unreliable Remote

Client

local Position = Networker.getUnreliableRemote("Position")

Sending Events

Position:FireServer(...)

Position:FireClient(player, ...)

Position:FireAllClients(...)

Listening for Events

Server

Position:OnServerEvent(function(player, ...)
	print(player)
end)

Client

Position:OnClientEvent(function(...)
	print(...)
end)
