  1. What is the issue? Messaging Service is not getting anything when I use subscribeasync
print("Script Started v1.0.0a")
local MessagingService = game:GetService("MessagingService")
local TextService = game:GetService("TextService")

CreateNewPlayer = function(player,position)
	print(player,position)
	if typeof(player) == "string" then
		local Model = Instance.new("Model")
		Model.Parent = game.Workspace
		Model.Name = player
		local Part = Instance.new("Part")
		Part.Parent = Model
		Part.Position = position
		Part.Anchored = true
		Part.CanCollide = false
		Part.Name = "Head"
		local Humanoid = Instance.new("Humanoid")
		Humanoid.Parent = Model
	end	
end
AddAMessageToPlayer = function(player,message,playerid)
	if typeof(player) == "string" then
		if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player) then
			local filteredmessage = TextService:FilterStringAsync(message, playerid,Enum.TextFilterContext.PublicChat):GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
			game.ReplicatedStorage.ClientHandler:FireAllClients(player,filteredmessage)
		end
	end	
end
UpdatePosition = function(player,position)
	if typeof(player) == "string" then
		if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player) then
			game.Workspace[player].Head.Position = position
		end
	end	
end
RemovePlayer = function(player)
	if typeof(player) == "string" then
		if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player) then
			game.Workspace[player]:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
	local Position = player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position
	local Playername = tostring(player.Name)
	CreateNewPlayer(Playername)
	MessagingService:PublishAsync("Multiplayer",Playername,Vector3.new(0, 0.5, 0))
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
		AddAMessageToPlayer(player.Name,message,player.UserId)
		pcall(function()
			MessagingService:PublishAsync("MultiplayerChat",Playername,message,player.UserId)
		end)	
	end)
	spawn(function()
		while true do
			local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			if humanoid.MoveDirection ~= Vector3.new(0,0,0) then -- as you can see it's scuff since I didn't know what I was doing much back then
				pcall(function()
					UpdatePosition(Playername,player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position)
					MessagingService:PublishAsync("UpdatePlayer",Playername,player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position)
				end)	
			end
			wait(0.5)
		end
	end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	MessagingService:PublishAsync("RemoveMultiPlayer",player)
end)

MessagingService:SubscribeAsync("Multiplayer",function(player,position)
	print(player,position)
	CreateNewPlayer(player,position)
end)
MessagingService:SubscribeAsync("RemoveMultiPlayer",function(player)
	RemovePlayer(player)
end)
MessagingService:SubscribeAsync("MultiplayerChat",function(player,message,playerid)
	AddAMessageToPlayer(player,message,playerid)
end)
MessagingService:SubscribeAsync("UpdatePlayer",function(player,position)
	UpdatePosition(player,position)
end)

Try putting the components you send into messagingservice into a dictionary (only one extra can be sent with publishasync), I think I have had this issue before.

So for example;
{ [“PlayerName”] = “string”, [“PrimaryPartPosition”] = vector3}

Let me know if changing them all to a table works.

Reference them with info[“PlayerName”] or info[“PrimaryPartPosition”].

REPLACE ALL “ WITH KEYBOARD ORIGIN “, ALL QUOTATION MARKS ARE MOBILE UNICODES AND ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY ROBLOX

#3

MessagingService:PublishAsync(): Cannot publish Dictionary, can only accept valid UTF-8 characters.

#4

The “ are mobile unicodes, I am on mobile. Replace all of the “ with a normal “ from your keyboard. Sorry about that.

#5

I did that already still didn’t worked says same thing

#6

Paste the code here, I can have a look to see whats causing the problem.

#7 
local PositionTable = {['PlayerName'] = Playername, ['PrimaryPartPosition'] = Position}

CreateNewPlayer(PositionTable)
MessagingService:PublishAsync("Multiplayer",PositionTable)
#8

I’ll hop on PC and check out the issue. Ill reply with a fix soon.

#9

Thanks I would appreciate that

#10

and I forgot to mention script subscribeasync first argument is a table for some reasons even tho it must be a player name

#11

Make sure its only function(info and not with the two arguments player,position.

Then you can do

print(info["PlayerName"], info["PrimaryPartPosition"])
CreateNewPlayer(info["PlayerName"], info["PrimaryPartPosition"])
#12

yes but how im gonna publish async with that table

#13 
local PositionTable = {['PlayerName'] = Playername, ['PrimaryPartPosition'] = Position}

CreateNewPlayer(PositionTable)
MessagingService:PublishAsync("Multiplayer",PositionTable)

The exact way you did it.

Just replace all multi-argument publishAsyncs into a table with all of the information, and publish that table, where it can be accessed.

#14

it says that I can’t publish a dictionary

#15

Ah. I’ll find a solution for that.

#16

Thanks for helping me I appreciate it

#17

With credit to this thread, what you should do is HttpService:JSONEncode(data goes here) the dictionary and send it encoded, then decode it with HttpService:JSONDecode(data goes here) inside the subscribeasync (set the decoded version inside a variable for easy access) and access its parts the same way.

#18

so I jsonencode table and then jsondecode it?

#19

Yes, so when you publish it inside the :PublishAsync() at the position table value just wrap it in game:GetService(“HttpService”):JSONEncode(positionTable) (REPLACE “ SINCE MOBILE UNICODE) then inside the subscribeasync variable do local decodedInfo = game:GetService(“HttpService”):JSONDecode(info)
