I want to tween all the players' cameras at once to the same CFrame.
Should I use RemoteEvent for this or just use a .Changed Event on a bool value?
Wouldn't the bool value be better because there is a slight delay in remoteevent and there doesn't need to be any information sent except to just tween?
Another question:
After I get all the clients to respond to the "fire", how do I make sure all the players cameras are on the same frame in the end?
Like if I do this:
for i = 1,50 do runservice.RenderStepped:wait() blahblah() end, different devices with different processors will be on different frames (especially mobile), so some people may be half way through the cutscene while some people are done.
How do I fix this?
TLDR: Is RemoteEvent better or bool value better for just telling clients to do a predesignated function? How to make cutscenes sync in all players with renderstepped (different processors > frameskips, etc)?
Thanks

Use a RemoteEvent since you are doing Server to Client communication.
As for checking when all Clients are done, have the Client send back something once it is finished tweening. Once the received amount equals the amount sent, then you'll know everyone is complete. |

@Contrary, are you sure because I just need the "fire" I don't need the arguments returned by the remoteevent.
Also, I for the RenderStepped: I meant like how would I make the players on the same frame during a cutscene.
But I think I got it:
local t1 = tick()
while tick()-t1 < 5 do
runservice.RenderStepped:wait()
tween((tick()-t1)/5) -- the alpha progress
end

Any frame difference would be extremely minor, and ages for mobile. Is there a SERIOUS reason why you need them synced? |

Oh no, frame differences are huge sometimes. In mobile they're huge, at least on the two android phones I tested my game on.
There was a huge loop I was doing like more than 2000 iterations for a gui animation
The phone took like 40 seconds to process it, but animation was still smooth but like 2x slower
Computer took like 15-20 seconds

Okay yeah I'll use remoteevent/fireallcleints then, but what about the RenderStepped frame delays?
