Use messaging service on the server side

I know about messaging service, but is there an actual way to fire a remote event using messaging service?

Heres a quick example, but aside from this kind of approach, no

local Ms = game:GetService("MessagingService")
local Remote:RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MyRemoteEvent")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Ms:SubscribeAsync("TopicExample",function(message)
	--[[
		message = {
			data <string>,
			toPlayer <userId>,
		}	
	]]
	local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.toPlayer)
	
	if player then
		Remote:FireClient(player,message.data)
	end
	
end)

So would the target player get the remove event received?

yes, just make sure you have their userId

the code just stops at

> Ms:SubscribeAsync("TopicExample",function(message)

any reason why?

You need to PostAsync first, subscribe async doesn’t start a topic, it listens for one. So make sure to publish async when a player presses the button

local button = script.Parent
local postevent = game.ReplicatedStorage.PostEvent
button.Activated:Connect(function()
   postevent:FireServer()
end)
—[[Server]]—
postevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
   local sendtoplr = — smth here
   Ms:PublishAsync(“TopicExample”, sendtoplr)
end)

It doesnt do anything on its own its listening for a PublishAsync
