Broadcast and Receive Events

Last updated: March 31, 2025

  1. To understand the Broadcast and Recieve event blocks, lets think of it in another way. The Broadcast Event is like the phone that sends the text message, or someone throwing a ball. The When i Receive event -- is like the phone that gets the text message, or the person that catches the ball.

  2. The Key on both of them is what links the two together. Think of it as the text message between the phones, or the ball that they are throwing. You can call it whatever you'd like, as long as its the exact same

If the naming is not exact, it wont broadcast anything. Remember, it is case sensitive too.

Lets do an Example of how to use it

  1. On one block which we'll use as the button, put a when touched by a player block followed by our Broadcast event --.

  2. On another block, place the When i Receive event -- and put what you want to happen when someone presses the button. In this case we want to change the players scale so we use a change all players scale to 1.

If you test it and it's not working, check that you have named it EXACTLY the same with any Capitals or " ".
