Maybe making something called a "GlobalEvent" that acts like the RemoteEvent and BindableEvent but fires in EVERY server. Support anyone? :D

Right now, there's no way other than checking a datastore every so often to create events that can carry information between servers.

"FireAllClients()/FireAllServers()?"

he's talking about cross-server, not just in a single server

unless if fireallclients includes all servers but i think it would be in the wiki page

"i still don't get it"

well a bindable event is an object used to use functions across multiple scripts

so for example, a script sets the OnInvoke to a function that prints something. another script can use :Invoke() to run that function.

a globalevent theoretically is something you can set a function to and it can be invoked from on any server

Correct, for example, an admin can use it to broadcast a message to every server.

And I believe that the wiki discouraged using Update events on datastores because they take up a lot of RAM or something

It discouraged it because you can't guarantee that the information you're getting is current, but with something like this that wouldn't apply.

Support, this is a genius idea!

PS: To everyone saying I don't get it, it's a scripter thing. A good scripter thing. You should support it, it lets us do more fancy things. Cross server chat, anyone?

Support, however I know that it is scriptable but this should nevertheless be a feature.

each globalevent would have to have the same id so they would be able to identify eachother and fire
