get_comm_channel

Returns the event for an already-opened channel (by its id).

get_comm_channel(id: number): BindableEvent?

local id, channel = create_comm_channel()
channel.Event:Connect(function(data)
    print(data) -- Hello, World!
end)

run_on_actor(getactors()[1], [[
    local id = ...
    local channel = get_comm_channel(id)
    channel:Fire("Hello, World!")
]], id)

id is the number that create_comm_channel gave you back when the channel was opened. Used on the receiving side of an actor split: a should call get_comm_channel(id) to reach the same one. The result is a Roblox BindableEvent, so use :Fire(...) to send messages and .Event:Connect(...) to receive them, or .Event:Wait() to yield until the next one arrives.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
id	number	The channel id from create_comm_channel.

Returns

BindableEvent? - the event for that channel, or nil if no channel was ever opened with that id.

Example

The main thread opens a channel and starts a run_on_actor worker thread with the id. The worker thread resolves the same channel with get_comm_channel and fires a message back to the main thread.

Example 1

local get_comm_channel = get_comm_channel(10)
