why should we delete part in replicatedstorage when we can delete it in workspace?

[@theyisgreen.9883]

Commenting my mistakes in case anyone has the same problems as me: 1. If it says a part doesn't exist in the workspace use WaitFor Child() like game.Workspace:WaitForChild("part") 2. Make sure you have a local script in StarterPlayerScripts, a remote event in ReplicatedStorage, and a script in ServerScriptService I Thought that you were supposed to put the local script in replicated storage and it took me forever to find out why it didn't work. Hope I helped :)

Basically from what I've told... Remote Event = It is a one way between Client to Server Remote Function = It is a two way between Client to Server & Server to Client Main difference about the two is that Remote Function returns something while Remote Event cannot.

Remote Functions are somewhat like this (Thank you CatMeowDev for the inspiration): When thinking to yourself, you are using a local script. When you talk, its a normal script. My thoughts can be turned into speech with a remote function, BUT I can't continue thinking while speaking. I can only continue to think once I'm done speaking.

Thank you really made it so easy to unserstand for me❤

[@t0lsi]

first

[@vuda2k]

The first problem I encountered with the remote event is "Part is not a valid member of the Workspace." you fix that by putting: local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part") This replaces the variable in the local script. The second problem was that I pressed delete when running the game, it printed when it was pressed but the part didn't delete. The workaround for that is to rewrite the ServerScript in a normal script, not a local one. if it says: "OnServerEvent is not a valid member of RemoteEvent" then you need to rewrite the code instead of copying and pasting it from the localscript ServerScript. Hope this helps someone!

[@Vainglory100]

Put the Remote events name RemoteEvent:FireClient Then RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent or something like that

[@jamalyeboah4322]

So difference between remote events and functions, someone correct me if I’m wrong, is that a remote function, after running the function on server can go back to the local script and continue running more functions and code

[@Theforcesconsumeme]

No idk the difference but u can continue writing code with either

[@snatchables9015]

the difference is that a remote event can only communicate one way. for example, client to server. a remote function can communicate two ways. for example, you could call a function, pass an argument into a serversided script, and then have that script pass that argument back to the local script.

[@Liqkid]

Helped so much THank you

[@BigBagl]

This is such a good tutorial series I figured out how to make it so when you click on a player it damages them 👍

[@noam190]

you can also do: function remoteFunction.OnServerInvoke(player,part) return part:Destroy() end

[@alieeeeennnnnn]

why do you even return part:Destroy()?

[@dusty3357]

let me get this straight Remote Function and Events are client-server communication path events start a new thread(as if the code got divided) and functions must be excuted completely when called so they are simply normal functions and events but on two scripts(a local one and a normal one) Thanks!!

[@acemo1]

Hey dude can you tell me how to have multiple parts on one tool

[@acemo1]

Burmese Cat thanks

[@Nathanator]

Union them and use welds

[@MarioMario-yb3iz]

@@Nathanator watttt

[@Nathanator]

Mario Mario If you Union something it combines multiple parts into one part. This doesn’t work in all cases though because sometimes you might want the parts to have different materials or have separate behavior. In that case, you would weld them together. Basically it keeps the parts in the same relative position from each other. So if you had two parts, but Part 2 is 5 studs to the left from Part 1, and you dragged Part 1 off a cliff, as the parts fall, Part 2 will always be 5 studs to the left from part 1. If you move part 2, part 1 will move, and if you move part 1, part 2 will move. They will always be like that unless you destroy the weld, in which they behave separately. Sorry if this was confusing, if it was you can read the Roblox Developer article on welds: developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/Weld Also TheDevKing made a tutorial on welds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnbcYaOla9h_qdE So basically how welds work is that you have to create a weld and then specify a Part0 and a Part1, which are the two parts you want to weld together. After that, they will always be binded together even if they aren’t touching each other, hopefully I was able to help!
