Executing Server Functions on the Client Side with a Return Value

[Swimer]

I need to get the result of a server function from an event handler.

local plTeam = getPlayerTeam(localPlayer)
if plTeam then
  if isPlayerInTeam(plr, plTeam) then
    local friend = getPlayerFriend(plr) -- Execute server-side function "getPlayerFriend(player)"
    text = friend.." ["..id.."]"
  end
end

Changed the code to be more clear

unfortunately you can't do this by default but you can run it on server side with "triggerServerEvent" and then pass the return value back to client side with "triggerClientEvent"

Try this, but carefully read full page. Might require some changes though.

can it be used for my purposes? So that the function returns a string exactly when it was called?

My library can do that, if you really want to be able to do it that way.

An "easy" alternative would be to use elementData to set a value and check this value on the client side with getElementData
