I made a global chat and it does not work, so can we encode a table?
local messagingservice = game:GetService("MessagingService")
local httpsservice = game:GetService("HttpService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
local data = {plr.Name,tostring(msg)}
local data2 = httpsservice:JSONEncode(data)
messagingservice:PublishAsync("PlayerMessage",data)
end)
end)
messagingservice:SubscribeAsync("PlayerMessage",function(message)
local playerwhosent = message[1]
local messageplayersent = message[2]
if not game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerwhosent) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent:FireAllClients(playerwhosent,messageplayersent)
end
end)
So it does not print any error in line 6 which is the encoding of a table, I saw some posts and heard you cannot decode a table, you can decode a string, so its possible to encode a table but not decode it? tell me how to fix this

Why are you encoding it in the first place?

idk can we send tables in messaging service?
Yes, I believe so, as long as you keep the message at the maximum size of 1 kB. The 2nd parameter for PublishAsync is a variant.
what is a variant? it means table,int value,string all values?
In a way yes, in this case being a table that you are trying to publish, I am confident that this is just a straight yes.
You don’t need to encode the table. You could do something along the lines of:
local message_temp = {
["Player"] = player.Name,
["Message"] = msg
}
messagingservice:PublishAsync("PlayerMessage", message_temp)
Receiving it would look like:
local subscribeSuccess, subscribeConnection = pcall(function()
return messagingservice:SubscribeAsync("PlayerMessage", function(msg)
local from = msg.Data["Player"]
local message = msg.Data["Message"]
end)
end)
can this script work to, anyway thank you for the script:
local messagingservice = game:GetService("MessagingService")
local httpsservice = game:GetService("HttpService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
local data = {plr.Name,tostring(msg)}
local data2 = httpsservice:JSONEncode(data)
messagingservice:PublishAsync("PlayerMessage",data)
end)
end)
messagingservice:SubscribeAsync("PlayerMessage",function(message)
local playerwhosent = message[1]
local messageplayersent = message[2]
if not game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerwhosent) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent:FireAllClients(playerwhosent,messageplayersent)
end
end)
Are there any errors in the output? You could try wrapping the MessagingService functions within a pcall:
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
local data = {plr.Name,tostring(msg)}
local publishsuccess, publishresult = pacll(function()
messagingservice:PublishAsync("PlayerMessage",data)
end)
if not publishsuccess then
print(publishresult)
end
end)
local subscribesuccess, subscribeconnection = pcall(function()
return messagingservice:SubscribeAsync("PlayerMessage",function(message)
local playerwhosent = message[1]
local messageplayersent = message[2]
if not game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerwhosent) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent:FireAllClients(playerwhosent,messageplayersent)
end
end)
end
It says argument missing or nil for the script i sent
Which part of the script did the error occur? Which argument is missing or nil?
it says line 15 argument missing or nil,
my game somehow how alot of errors of kill bricks so its hard to take an image of the output
i changed the script a bit,
local messagingservice = game:GetService("MessagingService")
local httpsservice = game:GetService("HttpService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
local data = {
["PlayerName"] = plr.Name;
["PlayerMessage"] = msg
}
messagingservice:PublishAsync("PlayerMessage",data)
end)
end)
end)
messagingservice:SubscribeAsync("PlayerMessage",function(message)
local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
local playerwhosent = message["PlayerName"]
local messageplayersent = message["PlayerMessage"]
if not game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerwhosent) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent:FireAllClients(playerwhosent,messageplayersent)
end
end)
end)
does this work?
Oh, simple mistake. You forgot to add “.Data” after message. The SubscribeAsync function should read:
messagingservice:SubscribeAsync("PlayerMessage",function(message)
local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
local playerwhosent = message.Data["PlayerName"]
local messageplayersent = message.Data["PlayerMessage"]
if not game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerwhosent) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent:FireAllClients(playerwhosent,messageplayersent)
end
end)
end)
wait it don’t work, we tried in 3 servers with 3 people, none said it worked, neither they or me see the message
this time no error is printed, i guess and all are updated servers only
What’s the code connected to ChatMessageEvent? MessagingService is functioning correctly, so it may be on the end that’s receiving the message.
local textservice = game:GetService("TextService")
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plrname,message)
game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{
Text = "["..plrname.."]: "..textservice:FilterStringForBroadcast(message,game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId);
TextSize = 18;
Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
})
end)
this is the local script in starter gui
Well, you aren’t filtering the string correctly, and you’re also attempting to filter on a Local Script, which isn’t recommended:
Script:
messagingservice:SubscribeAsync("PlayerMessage",function(message)
local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
local playerwhosent = message.Data["PlayerName"]
local messageplayersent = message.Data["PlayerMessage"]
local success, err = pcall(function()
filtered = textservice:FilterStringAsync(messageplayersent, game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(playerwhosent))
filteredc = filtered:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
end)
if success then
if not game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerwhosent) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent:FireAllClients(playerwhosent,filteredc)
end
else
print(err)
end
end)
end)
Local Script:
local textservice = game:GetService("TextService")
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatMessageEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plrname,message)
game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{
Text = "["..plrname.."]: "..message;
TextSize = 18;
Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
})
print("Called")
end)
