textchatservice proximity and commands | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

I am using the proximity-chat script provided by roblox

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/textchatservice-new-chat-window-customization-and-delivery-apis/2054343

^In that post,

local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local generalChannel : TextChannel = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels").RBXGeneral

local function getPositionFromUserId(userId)
    local targetPlayer = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(userId)
    if targetPlayer then
        local targetCharacter = targetPlayer.Character
        if targetCharacter then
            return targetCharacter:GetPivot().Position
        end
    end

    -- return default position for example
    return Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
end

generalChannel.ShouldDeliverCallback = function(textChatMessage: TextChatMessage, targetTextSource: TextSource)
    local sourcePos = getPositionFromUserId(textChatMessage.TextSource.UserId)
    local targetPos = getPositionFromUserId(targetTextSource.UserId)

    -- If the distance between players is less than 50, deliver the message.
    return (targetPos - sourcePos).magnitude < 50
end

Here is the server script, is it parented to server script service.

My question about this is, while the script works perfectly fine, as seen is this screenshot

TextChatService: New Chat Window Customization and Delivery APIs

Hi everyone, As part of our continued investment into TextChatService, we’re excited to announce new developer capabilities! Chat Window Customization To allow you to best customize the default chat window to fit your experience’s aesthetic and UI layout, we’ve introduced several new properties to the ChatWindowConfiguration instance, parente...

#

How would I make it so the player names are changed, instead of it being their user names, it’ll be their character names they use based on my custom character creator

#

Talking about those names, how would I change that.
2. Secondly, I want to make multiple commands, such as /shout [Makes the players message yellow, and the proximity distance will be higher], /me [A roleplay action, the distance will be the same as the regular talking], and others as well. How would I do something like this.
A solution I came up with is…

1: Making multiple scripts, and each script is for each command, but I feel as if this would be way too inefficient.
Are there any other solutions? IS there anybody that can help me?

#

#

These would also be the commands, how would I implement them in the script, make them each different colors when messaged, and also proximity based as well?

you need to intercept the message before its sent

#

just substitute the name using gsub

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

delicate terrace you need to intercept the message before its sent

ive done that, but what about the commands?

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 2:38 AM

noble imp

what are those T's with the <>

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

slim blade what are those T's with the <>

what

#

oh

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

the t just means "text"

#

its the image that roblox uses for the command objects

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

oh ok

#

Did you fix the issue?

#

Also one thing you could do is have a dictionary with the key value of your command name and then assign to to a function

#

seperate the command in the message and then find it in the dictionary and run the command

#

lemme give an example

#


commands = {
  ["shout"] = function(paramaters)
    
  end;

  ["whisper"] = function(paramaters)
    
  end;
}

game.Players.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
  local tokens = string.split(msg, " ")
  if string.sub(token[1], 1, 1) == "/" then -- replace with prefix you want
    local commandName = string.sub(token[1], 2, string.len(token[1]) -- get commands name
    local paramaters = table.remove(tokens, 1) -- removes command so we only send params
    if commands[commandName] then
      commands[commandName](paramaters)
    end
  end
end)

#

THere is likely amore effecient and optomized way but this should serve as a general idea on what to do

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

slim blade Did you fix the issue?

no i didnt

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

slim blade ```lua commands = { ["shout"] = function(paramaters) end; ["whisper...

Thanks for the script, but this wouldnt work

#

Using textchatservice, I am using the actual objects that listens itself if the command has been used using the .triggered event , and if it has, it'll do whatever.

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:25 AM

#

1: Making multiple scripts, and each script is for each command, but I feel as if this would be way too inefficient.
Are there any other solutions? IS there anybody that can help me?

well i mean just change it for your needs

#

check for .triggered instead

#

same concept just changing it around a bit

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

yeah i tried that and it didnt rlly work

#

let me show u the scrip

#

local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local meCmd = TextChatService:WaitForChild("/meCommand")
local doCmd = TextChatService:WaitForChild("/doCommand")
local shoutCmd = TextChatService:WaitForChild("/sCommand")
local lowCommand = TextChatService:WaitForChild("/lCommand")
TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message)
    

    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
    
    
    if message.TextSource then
        local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)

        -- This is assuming the name is stored in a stringValue in the player object. Change this to whatever you need.
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value .. " says:")

        -- Default is message.PrefixText and will just show the player's username.
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
    end

    return properties
end

    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    if plr then

    return properties
end)

        -- Default is message.PrefixText and will just show the player's username.
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
    end
    return properties
end)

#

lowCommand.Triggered:Connect(function(plr, msg)
    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    if plr then
        print("low cmd connects")
        
        local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(plr.UserId)

        -- This is assuming the name is stored in a stringValue in the player object. Change this to whatever you need.
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(98, 98, 98):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value.. " whispers:")

        -- Default is message.PrefixText and will just show the player's username.
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
    end
    return properties

end)

#

shoutCmd.Triggered:Connect(function(plr, msg)
    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    if plr then
        print("shout cmd connects")
        
        local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(plr.UserId)
        
        -- This is assuming the name is stored in a stringValue in the player object. Change this to whatever you need.
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(136, 136, 68):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value.. " shouts:")

        -- Default is message.PrefixText and will just show the player's username.
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
    end
    return properties
end)

#

all in one script (cant send the entire thing, discord is dumb)

#

no errors either 🤷‍♂️

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

@slim blade

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

whats the issue

#

oh

#

hm some print statements there and there maybe lmme check

#

do you know if there commands are being triggered firstly?

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:40 AM

#

yup, the print lines actually do connect

#

but no chat is even being done after i do the commands

#

however if i chat normally its fine

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:42 AM

#

alr lemme check documentation rq

#

is there an actual documentation for the commands themselves

#

foudn it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

yeah

#

but i dont undersatnd how i can implement it in my actual chat

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:44 AM

#

does it work for you and just not send for others by chance?

#

or just like no message for anyone at all

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:44 AM

#

no message whatsoever

#

however normal messages work fine

#

if that helps at all

#

commands just done

#

like not even in the bubble chat

#

hmmm

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:45 AM

#

why are you returning properties

#

first thing i would do is add some print statements throughout the command, maybe its stopping somewhere

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

i returend them because i returned them when doing them with original messages

TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message)
    

    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
    
    
    if message.TextSource then
        local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)

        -- This is assuming the name is stored in a stringValue in the player object. Change this to whatever you need.
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value .. " says:")

        -- Default is message.PrefixText and will just show the player's username.
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
    end

    return properties
end

#

i think the problem MIGHT Be

#

the way roblox actually handles the commands

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

shoutCmd.Triggered:Connect(function(plr, msg)
    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    if plr then
        print("shout cmd connects")
        
        local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(plr.UserId)
        print("player found")
        -- This is assuming the name is stored in a stringValue in the player object. Change this to whatever you need.
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(136, 136, 68):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value.. " shouts:")

        print("Check")

        -- Default is message.PrefixText and will just show the player's username.
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName

        print("bam")
    end
    return properties
end)

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

like it doesn't even show up in the bubble chat.

#

alright, ill try this.

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:47 AM

#

k one sec just tell me if it doesnt print all of them

#

should print ('bam')

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:47 AM

#

alright.

#

#

its stopping somewhere. @slim blade

#

wait im dubm

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

send script with checks maybe

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

ignore that

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

nice avatar btw

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

its actually not stopping

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

k hm

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

slim blade nice avatar btw

lol its made with my character creaotr i made ingame

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

those arent local scripts handling commands right

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

i gotta add the clothes

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

slim blade those arent local scripts handling commands right

yes it is

#

under starterplayerscripts

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

all of them?

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

yeah all of my commands are under that one script

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

well this might be starting to make sense

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

(not to read, just to show)

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

#

maybe use this

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

how so

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

because i dont think your even sending the message

#

like after you intercept it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

yeah, see thats what i thought the problem was not gonna lie

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

like the command evokes but you never send the message

#

because the clients just listening to the event

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

i actually send it, but the command doesn't send my message into the chatwindow or bubble at all

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

but doing nothing after that

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

noble imp i actually send it, but the command doesn't send my message into the chatwindow ...

wdym

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

you explained it better

#

its just the way the chatcommands work

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

can you show where u send it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

after you do a command, the chat wont send

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

Well yeah its a command i guess, prob to make it more neat

#

So I guess send the message then

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

yeah it actually does help

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

slim blade

uhm how do i actually use this

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

#

i think this

#

lemme send link

#

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/TextChatMessage

TextChatMessage | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Immutable data object representing a text chat message.

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

i dont understand

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

well alls your doing is listening for a command

#

but never sending a message

#

.Triggered is jsut an event

#

you shouldnt be returning anytthing

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

yeah i understand that part, you explained it very well, but i dont know how to use "sendasync"

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

slim blade you shouldnt be returning anytthing

okay ill remove those lines

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/TextChatCommand

Represents a text chat command.

#

hm lemme try to make quick example

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

ah

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

yeah see

#

so it doesnt send a message so just use :SendAsync

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

can you still make the example please

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

alr

#

can i see your hierarchy

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

sure

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

you need a text channel object first, then create a local script and use SendAsync on the object, the default text channel is like this in hierarchy

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

like this?

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

no dont put commands in there

#

when you play, the game makes a default text channel

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

slim blade you need a text channel object first, then create a local script and use SendAsy...

this is what it looks like in hierarcy

#

so you wanna get a reference to the text channel object and use sendasync

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

yeah i believe its there by default

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

yep

#

now just do SendAsync()

#

and provide the message

#

as first paramter

#

now as long what you sending over isnt like a command like /kill noob, it should be handled like a regular message

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

generalChannel:SendAsync(string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(136, 136, 68):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value.. " shouts:"))

#

like this?

#

its all one line btw

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

yeah should work

#

as long string.format returns a string

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

added the .. msg btw

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

yep thats fine

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

alright lets se

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

make sure its a localscript

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

mhm all in htere

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

moment of truth

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

WLEL

#

IT WORKS BUT UH

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

ok so its not formatting

#

does it even accept formatted strings

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

and also the /s isnt even supposed to be there

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

slim blade does it even accept formatted strings

let me try without string.format

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

noble imp and also the /s isnt even supposed to be there

remove it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

slim blade remove it

well u need it for the command to work idk how i would remove that

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

no when commands sent

#

you remove it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

dang

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

not like that

#

remove formatting

#

in the unfiltered text its probably including /S

#

to fix this do this

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:07 AM

#

i've removed string.format

#

generalChannel:SendAsync("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(136, 136, 68):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value.. " shouts:" .. msg)

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

no like dont format it at all

#

just include the part for message

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

oh okay

#

like so?

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

since the messages arent rich text apparently

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

noble imp

yes and include shouts if u want

#

ima give scirpt to remove the command part out of message

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

alright.

#

what in the

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

local str = "/S noob you suck haha"
local _, endIndex = string.find(str, "%s")
local result = string.sub(str, endIndex + 1)

#

the result would be it without that /S

#

show what it sends now

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:12 AM

#

so would i send the result? through send async?

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:12 AM

#

yep

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:12 AM

#

alr lets see

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:12 AM

#

no wait

#

str should be equal to the message

#

so just replace str with the message

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

like that

#

alright

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

yeah or just remove str variable and pass i msg

#

in*

#

but that pretty much should work

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

works!

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:14 AM

#

nice

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:14 AM

#

so i got ONE more question if ur up for it @slim blade ik i put u thru alot

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:14 AM

#

what is it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:14 AM

#

alright so basically, each command should have its own this part

#

so shouts would be "eric armstrong shouts"

#

for the low command, "eric armstrong whispers" etc etc

#

with different colors as well

#

so my question is

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:15 AM

#

can i see your message handling script

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:15 AM

#

TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message)
    

    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
    
    
    if message.TextSource then
        local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)

        -- This is assuming the name is stored in a stringValue in the player object. Change this to whatever you need.
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255):ToHex(), player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value .. " says:")

        -- Default is message.PrefixText and will just show the player's username.
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
    end

    return properties
end

```i
I handle the original message through this

#

so basically ANY message that passes through, is gonna hev that format on the playercharactername variable

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:15 AM

#

i see

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

how would i change it so
it'll end up saying "shouts", "whisper", etc, and also have different colors

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

i know why it was showing format

#

originally

#

so here this is just the way you want it to be by default right?

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

slim blade i know why it was showing format

ohh i see it now

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

so just set that on the object in studio

#

and format on the command script instead

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

slim blade so here this is just the way you want it to be by default right?

yeah, any message that isnt a command message is that

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

noble imp yeah, any message that isnt a command message is that

yaeh so jut set that with the text chat services properties

#

and format the string through using :SendAsync() on commands like before

#

and it should work

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

yeah but it'll need the name part too

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

what name part

#

oh

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

"player.firstname.value, player.lastname.value"

#

thats how i get the playername

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

you can get those from the client side as well

#

now one risk might be exploiters there tho

#

cant you just format it with the color, then just format the names on server

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

slim blade you can get those from the client side as well

but is that not what i am originally doing tho

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

this would be easier if send async could have paramaters send throuh it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

slim blade cant you just format it with the color, then just format the names on server

hmm

#

so look

#

my chat has proximity in it aswell on the server

#

would i simply do it through there

#

ive never done chat coding before this is all new to me

#

kinda sucks that this service is new too, theres not many articles on it

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

whats this

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

noble imp kinda sucks that this service is new too, theres not many articles on it

well thats the importance of learning to use documentation

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

slim blade whats this

proximity chat script, it means that you have to bea certain distance from a player in order to see their message from the chat

#

#

as you can see player2 cannot see player1s chat because theyre so far away

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

alr i know what you can do

#


local TextChatMessage = game:GetService("TextService"):GetChatService("TextChat")
local message = "Hello, world!"
local color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)  -- Example: Red color

-- Convert the color to a string representation
local colorString = string.format("#%02X%02X%02X", color.R * 255, color.G * 255, color.B * 255)

-- Create a metadata string with the color information
local metadata = string.format("Color:%s", colorString)

-- Send the message with metadata
TextChatMessage:SendAsync(message, metadata)

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

on the server or client

#

and where in the script would i put it

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

well your sending this stuff over the client heres the thing im trying to show yu

#

send async accepts meta data

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

ohh

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

so youcan send the color through there i guess is what im saying

#

or actually one thing you can do

#

esnetially you can send data through a string

#

and extract it from the string

#

lemme give example

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

like so?

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:26 AM

#

one sec

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:26 AM

#

ok

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:27 AM

#

client

local color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)  -- Example: Red color

-- Convert the color to a string representation
local colorString = string.format("%d,%d,%d", color.R * 255, color.G * 255, color.B * 255)

-- Send the message with the color string as metadata
TextChatMessage:SendAsync("Hello, world!", colorString)

server

game:GetService("TextService").TextChat.MessagePosted:Connect(function(message)
    -- Check if the message has metadata
    if message.Metadata then
        -- Extract the color string from the metadata
        local colorString = message.Metadata

        -- Split the color string into RGB values
        local r, g, b = colorString:match("(%d+),(%d+),(%d+)")

        -- Convert the RGB values back into a Color3
        local color = Color3.new(tonumber(r) / 255, tonumber(g) / 255, tonumber(b) / 255)

        -- Use the color value as desired
        print("Received color:", color)
    end
end)

#

obv change this for your needs

#

but this sould work

#

this would be how you send a color and get the color using the meta data param

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

#

hmm it makes sense to me

#

lets see

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

but wait try to format it

#

unless u wanna test first

#

to make sure ur getting color

#

yeh thats prob good idea do that firs

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

yeah ill test it first

#

it doesnt give the color

jagged capeBOT Jul 11, 2023, 4:29 AM

studio ** You are now Level 8! ** studio

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:30 AM

#

did you format using the color

#

and alos pass ina color

#

make sure to use format

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:31 AM

#

alright

#

using this like right?

#

testing 123 testing 123 gimmie a sec

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:31 AM

#

uh

#

no

#

your overcomplicating it

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128129987422199879/1128180978934886451/image.png

#

look here you already got the color variable

#

now just format the string using this color variable like u were before

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:33 AM

#

alright.

    print("message has been reicicved")
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
    print("Player has been found")

    if message.Metadata then
        print("metadata has been found")
        -- Extract the color string from the metadata
        local colorString = message.Metadata

        -- Split the color string into RGB values
        local r, g, b = colorString:match("(%d+),(%d+),(%d+)")

        -- Convert the RGB values back into a Color3
        local color = Color3.new(tonumber(r) / 255, tonumber(g) / 255, tonumber(b) / 255)
        print(color)

        -- Use the color value as desired
        
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", color, player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value .. " says:")

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

also i know why

#

your not sending the meta data

#

on client

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

i am sir

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

show?

#

k add an else statement

#

on server

#

for if metadata

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

mhm

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

actually one sec

#

add meta data paramater, and do if metadata instead of message.Metadata

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

mhm

#

TextChatService.MessageReceived:Connect(function(message)
    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    print("message has been reicicved")
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
    print("Player has been found")
    -- Check if the message has metadata
    if message then
        print("metadata has been found")
        -- Extract the color string from the metadata
        local colorString = message.Metadata

        -- Split the color string into RGB values
        local r, g, b = colorString:match("(%d+),(%d+),(%d+)")

        -- Convert the RGB values back into a Color3
        local color = Color3.new(tonumber(r) / 255, tonumber(g) / 255, tonumber(b) / 255)
        print(color)

        -- Use the color value as desired
        
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", color, player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value .. " says:")
        
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
        print("Received color:", color)
        
    else
        print("Not found metadata")
        
        
    end
end)
``` includes all the recent changes

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

no i dont know how that just blew over your head

#

i suggest you sleep

#

add a paramater called metadata

#

to the event

#

and do if metadata

#

not if message

#


TextChatService.MessageReceived:Connect(function(message, metadata)
    local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
    print("message has been reicicved")
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
    print("Player has been found")
    -- Check if the message has metadata
    if metadata then
        print("metadata has been found")
        -- Extract the color string from the metadata
        local colorString = metadata

        -- Split the color string into RGB values
        local r, g, b = colorString:match("(%d+),(%d+),(%d+)")

        -- Convert the RGB values back into a Color3
        local color = Color3.new(tonumber(r) / 255, tonumber(g) / 255, tonumber(b) / 255)
        print(color)

        -- Use the color value as desired
        
        local playerCharacterName = string.format("<font color='#%s'>%s</font>", color, player.PlayerStatsFolder.FirstName.Value .. " " .. player.PlayerStatsFolder.LastName.Value .. " says:")
        
        properties.PrefixText = playerCharacterName
        print("Received color:", color)

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:05 AM

#

#

becuz it worked fine

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

slim blade can you go back to using message posted

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

k

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

using OnIncomingMessage like before

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

k

#

onincoming message is a function

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

just use it

#

it is not a fucking

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:09 AM

#

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:09 AM

#

function*

#

no

#

.OnIncomingMessage = function()

#

TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function()

end)

#

its like that

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:09 AM

#

BOOM

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:09 AM

#

now try it

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:10 AM

#

yeah like

#

nothing prints serverside

#

im probably gonna have to do this an entirely different way im ngl

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

at this point just send the entire script

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

noble imp im probably gonna have to do this an entirely different way im ngl

no its just the event isnt working

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

alright

    else

    end
end

#

the ENTIRE serverscript

#

not a line missing, not a single error

slim blade Jul 11, 2023, 5:12 AM

#

know what your probably gonna have to do this an different way

#

your own message handling and just posting the messages onto there

noble imp Jul 11, 2023, 5:12 AM

#

slim blade know what your probably gonna have to do this an different way
