Examples

Example 2

{
    // in this scope, the remoteExecutedOwner equals clientOwner of the sender
    // so using it as target in remoteExec will send response right back at him
    [
        time, // mission time value on the server
        {
            hint format
            [
                "Request received!\nMission time value on the server is: %1",
                _this
            ];
        }
    ]
    remoteExec ["call", remoteExecutedOwner]; // server response to the sender
} 
remoteExec ["call", 2]; // send request to server
