Comm

Remote communication library.

This exposes the raw functions that are used by the ServerComm and ClientComm classes. Those two classes should be preferred over accessing the functions directly through this Comm library. 

-- Server
local ServerComm = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Comm).ServerComm
local serverComm = ServerComm.new(somewhere, "MyComm")
serverComm:BindFunction("Hello", function(player: Player)
	return "Hi"
end)

-- Client
local ClientComm = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Comm).ClientComm
local clientComm = ClientComm.new(somewhere, false, "MyComm")
local comm = clientComm:BuildObject()
print(comm:Hello()) --> Hi
