error "Expected identifier when parsing expression, got ')'

[tall fox]

if game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
if string.lower(message) == '/boderman' then
wait (5)
script.Parent.Visible = true
end)

idk how to fix this

when i type the command /boderman in the chat it will wait 5 seconds and show a text label. that is what im trying to do

[somber kayak]

if game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
            if string.lower(message) == '/boderman' then
                wait (5)
                script.Parent.Visible = true
            end
     end)
end)

[tall fox]

i will try

doesnt work

for some reason

ill read you errors

Players.LuniDoge.PlayerGui.bodergui.Frame.Script:8: Expected 'then' when parsing if statement, got <eof>

[somber kayak]

Oh... I see...

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
            if string.lower(message) == '/boderman' then
                wait (5)
                script.Parent.Visible = true
            end
     end)
end)```

This should work

[tall fox]

yep

[sage plover]

** You are now Level 1! **

[tall fox]

works

thanks \

i appreciate it

uhh

it doesnt give any errors but it doesnt show the text

[somber kayak]

Use print and see where your script is not working

[tall fox]

sorry im new to scripting how do i do that

[somber kayak]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  print("Print")
  player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
    print("Another Print?!")
      if string.lower(message) == '/boderman' then
        print("Wait what?! IS IT PRINTING?!")
        wait (5)
        script.Parent.Visible = true
      end
  end)
end)

[tall fox]

and i just paste that into the script right?

[somber kayak]

Replace with what you have

[tall fox]

ok

nothing

it didnt print anything

[somber kayak]

Where are you using this script and what type of script is it?

[tall fox]

screen gui in starter gui and its a script

screen gui > frame > textlabel and script

[somber kayak]

Hm... Dont think you can use "PlayerAdded" outside of "ServerScriptService"

Try getting player in other way

[tall fox]

idk

[bold remnant]

Where is the script ?

Is it a script ? Or a localscript ?

[tall fox]

script

[bold remnant]

Where is the script

[somber kayak]

So you know what happen to everything inside the build-in "folders" that start with Starter when a player join?

[bold remnant]

I don't think script can run in gui

[somber kayak]

It 100000% can

[tall fox]

screen gui > frame > textlabel and script

[bold remnant]

A script can modify gui elements ?

[somber kayak]

Yup

[tall fox]

im sooo new to scripting so i dont have an idea

[somber kayak]

only for that player

[bold remnant]

If you put it in server script does it print ?

[tall fox]

i thought of doing that

[sage plover]

** You are now Level 2! **

[tall fox]

but idk if it will work

ill try

[bold remnant]

Just to see if it print

[somber kayak]

It should

At least the first print

Dark, do you know if ".Chatted" can be used in server script?

[bold remnant]

I can

[tall fox]

i put it in server script service

and nothing

[somber kayak]

I?

[bold remnant]

It*

[somber kayak]

Ah

[bold remnant]

Click on the script -> properties -> and I forgot the property to change

[tall fox]

???

[bold remnant]

Runcontext

[tall fox]

client or server

[bold remnant]

Server

[somber kayak]

Aight so here is how you should do it:
Create a server script inside : StarterGui > ScreenGui > Frame > TextLabel
Now open the script and get the player like this:

local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Paren

and now print(plr) to see if you got it

Tell us what it prints

[tall fox]

i tried what dark told me to do

gui is in server script service

it printed

[somber kayak]

And did anything you wanted happened?

[tall fox]

no

[somber kayak]

Is the script inside "ServerScriptService"?

[tall fox]

its inside the gui and the gui is inside serverscript

[bold remnant]

Put the gui inside staftergui

[tall fox]

a

[somber kayak]

Well... "PlayerAdded" will not work in there (I think, 99% sure)

[bold remnant]

I think script cannot run in staftergui etc

[tall fox]

now its not printing

[bold remnant]

Now use a local script

[tall fox]

alright

[somber kayak]

Trust me brother, it can, you can try it yourself

[tall fox]

i want it so that when i type the command /boderman in chat it will wait 5 seconds and show a text label, then hide it after 5 seconds

[somber kayak]

Pretty easy to do, lemme open Roblox Studio

[tall fox]

because i wanna make a remake of a blackout from a different roblox game

and there was a voice and subtitle

so ye

i wanna do the subtitle text

[somber kayak]

Ok so:
A Server Script CAN RUN inside the StarterGui
To use ".Chatted" you need a local script (nvm it can run on server too)

[tall fox]

if you can make me a short tutorial one what to do so i dont mess it up for the 10th time

[somber kayak]

local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

local TextLabel = script.Parent
TextLabel.Visible = false

local chatted = false

plr.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
    if chatted == false then
        chatted = true
        if string.lower(message) == "/yes" then
            TextLabel.Visible = true
            task.wait(5)
            TextLabel.Visible = false
        end
        chatted = false
    end
end)

This should 100% work

[tall fox]

okay

[somber kayak]

Get the code again, I changed a thing there to not be able to just spam the chat with the "command"

[tall fox]

ill see

YES

IT WORK

S

VERY NICE

[somber kayak]

Awesome
