FireClient
For thread safety, this property is not safe to read in an unsynchronized thread.
FireClient causes RemoteEvent/OnClientEvent|OnClientEvent
to be fired in LocalScript
s running for the given Player
. Additional data passed to this function is then provided to OnClientEvent; beware of limitations on this data.
Since this function is used for communication from server to client, so it will only work when used by a server-side Script
. For client-to-server communication (the other direction), use RemoteEvent/FireServer|FireServer
. Direct client-to-client communication not possible on Roblox; however, it can be simulated using a Script
that relays information received through some other means, such as RemoteEvent/FireServer|FireServer
.

Sometimes a game will need to send information from one client to another. Roblox does not support direct client to client contact, so any communication must first go through the server. This is typically done using remote events (although functions could be used if desired). First, the sending client would call FireServer. On the server, the function connected to OnServerEvent would hear this firing, and itself would then call FireClient.

RemoteEvents: Server to a Single Client
The server can send messages to the client through remote events in two ways: it can send a message to an individual client or it can send a message to every client at the same time.
In order to send a message to a single client, the FireClient function should be called from the server via a Script
.
To listen for the message on the client, a LocalScript
needs to connect a function to the OnClientEvent event of the RemoteEvent.
