Listening to Packet Events

Listening to a Packet Event allows you to run code whenever a packet is received.

Packet Events use :Connect() to create listeners.

Connecting to Events

Use :Connect() to listen for incoming events.

Example:

Network.Server.OpenRewardMenu:Connect(function(data)
  print(data.rewardId)
end)

Whenever the event is fired, the callback will run with the received data.

Server-owned events are received by the client.

Example schema:

Server = {
  OpenRewardMenu = Packeteer.event<<{
    rewardId: number
  }>>(),
}

Client:

Network.Server.OpenRewardMenu:Connect(function(data)
  print("Opening reward menu:", data.rewardId)
end)

The callback receives the exact data defined in the schema.

Client-owned events are received by the server.

Example Schema:

Client = {
  EquipItem = Packeteer.event<<{
    itemId: string
  }>>(),
}

Server:

Network.Client.EquipItem:Connect(function(player, data)
  print(player.Name, "equipped", data.itemId)
end)

When the server receives a client-owned event, Packeteer automatically provides the sending Player as the first callback argument.

:Connect() returns a RBXScriptConnection. You can disconnect a listener when it is no longer needed.

local connection = Network.Server.OpenRewardMenu:Connect(function(data)
  print(data.rewardId)
end)

connection:Disconnect()

Disconnecting a connection prevents the callback from running in the future.
