MessagingService on the Client

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I have a fairly simple question for you all tonight:
Is it possible to use MessagingService’s SubscribeAsync on the client?

I don’t want to go through the hassle of having to send complex data structures between the server and client quite frequently for my lobby game, is it possible to simply listen to the Messaging topic on the client? The place that would be receiving the data would have 1 player on it maximum, as it’s just a server browser lobby.

It isn’t possible unfortunately as it can contain sensitive information you might not want the client to see, among other security vulnerabilities.

From the documentation,

Nope, its used for server-to-server com. But you can get info from server and send it to client via remotes, if you want.
