Authority

API reference Source on GitHub Wally page

@0.2.3

A server-authoritative state holder that replicates its values through attributes.

Authority gives you a typed table of values that lives on an instance's attributes. The server owns the values; clients read the same object and see changes as the attributes replicate. It is the smallest possible way to share state per instance without writing remotes.

Use it when

• You need per-instance state (a door's locked flag, a tycoon's owner) visible to every client without RemoteEvents.
• You want the server to be the only writer, enforced rather than agreed on.
