MessagingService help

[vague dagger]

so i tried to make it so that u could create a private server for exploiters

Script A:
local s, err = nil, nil
s, err = pcall(function()
local place = TPS:ReserveServer(placeId)
TPS:TeleportToPrivateServer(placeId, place, {plr}
MessagingService:PublishAsync(place, {thing = "ExploiterZone})
end)

Script B:
if game.PrivateServerId ~= "" then
MessagingService:SubscribeAsync(game.PrivateServerId, function(data)
if data and data.data["thing"] == "ExploiterZone" then
warn("exploiter zone")
workspace:SetAttribute("ExploiterZone", true)
end
warn("tried again")
end)
warn("tried")
end

it does print "tried", but not "tried again", neither "exploiter zone"
did i fire it too early?

why would u want a private server for exploiters

u dont want exploiters

[ivory violet]

sybau and help him

ur not helpful

[balmy spindle]

why dont you help him

if ur so cool

[vague dagger]

i couldn't make anti cheat 😞
and second, i dont think anti cheat by itself is very useful
look at tower of hell, they use the same thing

[balmy spindle]

whats ur game abt

[vague dagger]

how do i explain it to you

its a ffa tag type game (not killing, but damaging people)

characters are these animators u see on social media (like pmdamiann)

i mean the game is kinda done i just need to add features

[ivory violet]

I do not care about helping him but i hate nіggas like you

Just help him nіgga stop fking around

I bet you he does not gaf about your bs

[vague dagger]

wait u could say the n word in this server???

whattt

[balmy spindle]

erm

[west lintel]

Is the idea that they get teleported there if they exploit? or is it like a playground?

[balmy spindle]

its a private server where exploiters can exploit

[vague dagger]

its a server which is made for exploiters so they can exploit there instead of in the main game so they dont ruin non exploiting players gameplay

i mean i will still implement anti cheat

but it would be kind to exploit in the exploit servers instead of main servers

now

i dont mean roblox allows this anyway

[west lintel]

I'm not 100% convinced that'd actually prevent exploits, especially if the exploiters are more interested in trolling rather than boosting

[vague dagger]

i mean i dont really know

[west lintel]

Either way, you can create private servers on the fly if that's what you're looking for

[vague dagger]

now the idea here is

they will open a private server inside the game which other exploiters can join

but

i tried to make it so that it opens a private server in the main game, and it sends a message through messageservice so the server understands that this is an exploiting server

MessagingService failed miserably

[vague dagger]

.

[west lintel]

if its a private server, game.PrivateServerId would be a non-empty string

[vague dagger]

i tried this in both private and public

public gave empty

private gave non empty

and by the way

the problem is in subscribeasync

[west lintel]

If something about your code isn't working we can just focus on that

[vague dagger]

it tries to create a new private server, and that works fine
but just after reserving it, i try to message the server with messageservice

well

that didnt work

so what i used for topic in publishasync was the places id

and then i tried to catch it with subscribeasync in another script

[vague dagger]

btw that script only fires in private server

but it didnt work

[west lintel]

Can I see the code?

[vague dagger]

.

now i didnt include the full script

for the script a

but script b is the full code

script a works fone

fine

i think the problem is in script b

btw the full concept is in the main game itself, u can click a button to make a new private server

and then it sends a message through messageservice to say that this is an exploiter server

and script b tries to catch it

[west lintel]

I think it may be safer to have a single topic, like "exploiter-check", send the data in the message.

Only private servers will subscribe to the topic

I worry that having a topic name not be the same could cause issues

[vague dagger]

i will try that

[west lintel]

also, from the docs:

Delivery is best effort and not guaranteed. Make sure to architect your experience so delivery failures are not critical.

So this feels risky

[vague dagger]

im a fucking dumbass bro

why dont i just make it so that if it has a privateserverid, then it will be an exploiter zone (well, i mean this kinda fires back if theres a literal private server thats not an exploiter zone but exploiter zone is so that it doesnt save the players progress in the main servers)
