global chat help

[supple hedge]

in the following script that recives incoming messages:

game:GetService("MessagingService"):SubscribeAsync("Chat",function(mesage)
print(mesage.Data)
end)

is it possible to get the username of whoever sent it? and if you can, how

[frigid sparrow]

try checking docs before asking

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/MessagingService#SubscribeAsync

[supple hedge]

no i have that already i can show you the full code

task.wait(1)
person = game.Players:FindFirstChildOfClass("Player")

game:GetService("MessagingService"):SubscribeAsync("Chat",function(mesage)
print("RECIVING: "..mesage.Data)
workspace.Part.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "Recived: "..mesage.Data
end)

person.Chatted:Connect(function(chat)
print("SENDING: "..game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(chat,person.UserId):GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync())
game:GetService("MessagingService"):PublishAsync("Chat",game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(chat,person.UserId):GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync())
end)

idk how to get WHO sent it though

[frigid sparrow]

send like lua code

[frigid sparrow]

what u want to achieve?

[supple hedge]

when you recive the message i want to have a variable i can use, and the variable is the username of who sent it

[frigid sparrow]

so just make this method for every player

what is "Chat" topic?

[supple hedge]

how do i do that

oh nvm

just realised

[supple hedge]

"Chat" topic is just the regular topic that im using for the global chat

theres only gonna be one topic

[frigid sparrow]

dont event understand what it is

[supple hedge]

what?

[frigid sparrow]

if u said its done maybe message.Data has info abt player

[supple hedge]

message.Data is just what the second to last line is sending

all the code is just to filter it through the roblox filter though

[supple hedge]

@frigid sparrow if theres a way tell me

[frigid sparrow]

i still dont understand what u need

[supple hedge]

ok so

[frigid sparrow]

if u just want to receive messages un understand who sent it

[supple hedge]

in THIS function

[frigid sparrow]

use this

[supple hedge]

how do i get the USERNAME of who sent it

i already have the regular global chat working fine though

[frigid sparrow]

bro

player.Name

is username

[supple hedge]

if i were to use player.Name in that script, id get the username of who its getting sent to, not who is sending it

[frigid sparrow]

uh um

wait

u mean when plrs sent to dms?

uh i see what u mean

[supple hedge]

well its gonna be a global chat

everybody recives every message sent to it and anyone can send a message to it

[frigid sparrow]

is this what u need?

[supple hedge]

i already have chatted event in it i think

for the second function

[frigid sparrow]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player:Player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message:string)
        print(player.Name, message)
    end)
end)```

[supple hedge]
