Scripts firing a RemoteEvent do not yield." --- # Class: RemoteEvent > An object which facilitates asynchronous, one-way communication across the > client-server boundary. Scripts firing a [RemoteEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) do not yield. ## Description The **RemoteEvent** object facilitates asynchronous, one-way communication across the [client-server](/docs/en-us/projects/client-server.md) boundary without yielding for a response. This communication can be directed from one client to the server, from the server to a specific client, or from the server to all clients. In order for both the server and clients to access a [RemoteEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) instance, it must be in a place where both sides can see it, such as [ReplicatedStorage](/docs/reference/engine/classes/ReplicatedStorage.md), although in some cases it's appropriate to store it in [Workspace](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Workspace.md) or inside a [Tool](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Tool.md). If no connected listener exists to handle an event, you might see a `Remote event invocation discarded` error in the log to indicate that the event was discarded and that you need to implement either `OnClientEvent` or `OnServerEvent`. Unlike [UnreliableRemoteEvents](/docs/reference/engine/classes/UnreliableRemoteEvent.md), [RemoteEvents](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) buffer a large number of events before throwing this error. If you need the result of the call, you should use a [RemoteFunction](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteFunction.md) instead. Otherwise a remote event is recommended since it will minimize network traffic/latency and won't yield the script to wait for a response. See [Remote events and callbacks](/docs/en-us/scripting/events/remote.md) for code samples and further details. #### Throttling Remote events are subject to rate limits when sent from the client to the server with the [FireServer()](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) method. [RemoteEvents](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) and [UnreliableRemoteEvents](/docs/reference/engine/classes/UnreliableRemoteEvent.md) both have a limit of approximately 500 requests per second, per client. This limit is **shared among all remote events of the same type**. To avoid throttling and latency issues, limit recurring remote events whenever possible. #### Parameter limitations Any type of Roblox object ([Enum](/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/Enum.md), [Instance](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance.md), etc.) can be passed as a parameter when a [RemoteEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) is fired, as well as Luau types such as numbers, strings, and booleans, although you should carefully explore the [limitations](/docs/en-us/scripting/events/remote.md#argument-limitations). ## Methods ### Method: RemoteEvent:FireAllClients **Signature:** `RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(arguments: Tuple): ()` Fires the [OnClientEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) event for each connected client. Unlike [FireClient()](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md), this event does not take a target [Player](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Player.md) as the first argument, since it fires to multiple clients. Since this method is used to communicate from the server to clients, it only works when used in a [Script](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Script.md). *Security: None · Thread Safety: Unsafe · Capabilities: RemoteEvent* **Parameters:** | Name | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | `arguments` | `Tuple` | | Values to pass to all [OnClientEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) events connected to the same [RemoteEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md). | **Returns:** `()` ### Method: RemoteEvent:FireClient **Signature:** `RemoteEvent:FireClient(player: Player, arguments: Tuple): ()` Fires the [OnClientEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) event for the specific client in the required [Player](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Player.md) argument. Since this method is used to communicate from the server to a client, it only works when used in a [Script](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Script.md). *Security: None · Thread Safety: Unsafe · Capabilities: RemoteEvent* **Parameters:** | Name | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | `player` | `Player` | | The client of the [Player](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Player.md) to fire the event to. | | `arguments` | `Tuple` | | Values to pass to [OnClientEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) events connected to the same [RemoteEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md). | **Returns:** `()` ### Method: RemoteEvent:FireServer **Signature:** `RemoteEvent:FireServer(arguments: Tuple): ()` Fires the [OnServerEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) event on the server from one client. Connected events receive the [Player](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Player.md) argument of the firing client. Since this method is used to communicate from a client to the server, it only works when used in a client script. *Security: None · Thread Safety: Unsafe · Capabilities: RemoteEvent* **Parameters:** | Name | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | `arguments` | `Tuple` | | Values to pass to [OnServerEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) events connected to the same [RemoteEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md). | **Returns:** `()` ## Events ### Event: RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent **Signature:** `RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent(arguments: Tuple)` Fires from a [LocalScript](/docs/reference/engine/classes/LocalScript.md) when either [FireClient()](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) or [FireAllClients()](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) is called on the same [RemoteEvent](/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent.md) instance from a [Script](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Script.md).
