Adding Tags & Titles via Commands

[glacial scroll]

Hey, I’m trying to make a script that lets me use chat commands to assign crew tags to players in my game. players can be part of a crew, and I want the crew name to show up as a chat tag next to their username in the chat.

I also want to be able to remove the tag and have these changes save.
The commands I had in mind are something like:

!setcrew playername crewname
!removecrew playername

But it should only work with specific crews I’ve defined. For example, it shouldn’t do anything if I type !setcrew playername staff or any random text, only valid crew names should be accepted.

It would also be great if it could automatically give the player a small title under their username in the game, like above their head.

I’ve been trying to get this to work, but it’s not working as expected. If anyone has tips or could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it

now doing the messaging part is easy, but you might need to look at the Documentary for TextChatService on that

thanks, but I tried using TextChatService and a bunch of other approaches, but nothing seems to work. I’ve tried dozens of scripts already and I don’t think the command is running, it somehow broke the chat as well.

i havent done these yet, have you looked up tutorials on these?

[glacial scroll]

Yeah, I did look up some tutorials, but I couldn’t really find any that show how to do it with chat commands

[shrewd hemlock]

ah so you figured out the tags part but not the chat commands yet?

[glacial scroll]

yeah, even tried using teams together with commands to assign players to teams, which actually worked at first. But the data wouldn’t save properly, or it would reset the teams when players rejoined, and sometimes it ended up being permanent so I couldn’t change or remove teams anymore. Plus, I didn’t really want to use teams in the first place, so I tried doing it this way instead but that just won’t work at all.

But even with teams, the chat tags themselves still didn’t show up so I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the commands

[shrewd hemlock]

hm, well i think you can search up on how to make chat commands in the new text service

cause i havent done anything like this

sorry if i couldnt help that much!

[glacial scroll]

No worries! I appreciate you trying to help and thanks for the tip

Assuming the Crews are being stored somewhere on the server, you simply just validate the teams using that, no? Also if you're having issues with DataStores, as a beginner or if you just don't wanna script them, you could just use any open sourced datastore module.

I'd personally recommend DocumentService or ProfileStore

The list itself is in the script and works fine, the data just won’t save or it breaks when I use teams, and yes I can fix that but even with teams, the chat tags didn’t show up. The issue is that the command itself just doesn’t seem to run properly. It does assign the players a team, but the chat tags don’t work. Right now I’m manually adding the user and tag directly in the script and that works. I’m still trying to figure out how to get it working through chat commands instead of editing the script every time.
