So I’m using messaging services for chat system in my game and I got this error:
"The game server has reached the allowed limit of active subscriptions."
In the Wiki documentation I can’t find anything mentioning the limit of active subscriptions. Why is this happening?
5 + 2* num players
Roblox Studio = 5+2*1=7
Here a nice link: MessagingService | Roblox Creator Documentation there is a table that shows its limitation
Yeah, which part of the table says MessagingService max active subscription? Please don’t feed links without context/explanation.
@nidor_x Can I ask where you found that info?
Documentation is outdated. You can test local with the script below. Enable API Request in Roblox Studio and run.
local MessagingService = game:GetService("MessagingService")
local topic_prefix = 'topic_';
spawn(function()
wait(3)
for i = 1, 10 do
local topic = topic_prefix..i
local connection
local success, err = pcall(function()
connection = MessagingService:SubscribeAsync(topic, function()
--- empty
end)
end)
if success then
print('Successfully connected to the "'..topic..'" topic')
else
warn('Error connecting to "'..topic..'" topic', err)
end
wait(2)
end
end)
Output
12:59:13.993 Successfully connected to the "topic_1" topic - Server - Server:28
12:59:16.428 Successfully connected to the "topic_2" topic - Server - Server:28

ps. You can increase the number of players in Studio to test the behavior
