Badge Equips Chat Tag System Only working on Client

[ashen nest]

I have a UI button that opens a menu that shows all the badges and if you own one well you can equip it, if you equip it then your chat tag shows up in the chat. So I was wondering if it only shows the chat tag for the client or if all players can see it, if it only shows for the client how could I make it show for all players? (also idk why text color for player is white when badge tag equipping)

going to school rn so wont respond until im back

if you're running this through a localscript you'll need a remote event or modulescript in serverscriptservice i think

Modulescript

[ashen nest]

can someone fix it for me

i have no brain

[ashen nest]

why a modulescript

[spice pike]

1 - you can reuse the logic for each player like a localscript
2 - it's nicer

[ashen nest]

well how do i do it

[spice pike]

take all your code, shove it into a modulescript

[ashen nest]

do i put it into serversript service

[spice pike]

yes

[ashen nest]

also that makes no sense cause all the ui is built from that local script that goes into starterplayerscripts so would it still build the ui?

** You are now Level 1! **

[ashen nest]

help

[spice pike]

yeah

so

basically

here

lemme draw some boxes

you still use a localscript

just all the logic is in the module

so you get both the tags appearing for everyone and the local ui

[ashen nest]

im stupid

[ashen nest]

so I make a module script? and add the local script as a child to it?

what do i put in the module script, and do i put that in serverscriptservice?

[spice pike]

no

keep the local script where it is

[ashen nest]

yeah

[spice pike]

okay

now add a modulescript to serverscriptservice

[ashen nest]

alright

now whats in the module script

[spice pike]

add a remote event to replicated storage too

[lost rivet]

** You are now Level 5! **

[spice pike]

don't forget that

[spice pike]

boo 👎

[ashen nest]

what do i call it

[spice pike]

uh EquipBadgeEvent

name the module BadgeManager or something

[ashen nest]

alright

and in the local script i shared earlyer?

[spice pike]

name doesn't matter for that just name it whatever

[ashen nest]

okay tell me the instructions ill be home in 3 hours or 2 idk

[spice pike]

okay

basically for the modulescript, you do something like this

local Players = game:GetService("Players") -- duh

local EquipBadgeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EquipBadgeEvent") -- whatever you named the remote

local equippedBadges = {} -- table to track equipped badges

EquipBadgeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, badgeId) -- simple function to equip the badge duh
    equippedBadges[player.UserId] = badgeId -- this is optional but you should add it
    player:SetAttribute("EquippedBadge", badgeId) -- equips the badge
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- when the player is removed, set the equipped badges to nil if you want to
    equippedBadges[player.UserId] = nil
end)```

and your localscript will be something like this

[ashen nest]

is the local script and module script gonna work together

nvm

[spice pike]

yeah

[spice pike]

something like that

then add whatever your ui logic was

[ashen nest]

so i could just ai to merge that locla script and my ui script?

[spice pike]

[spice pike]

basically

and type in "OnIncomingMessage"

and it should be in your modulescript

[ashen nest]

[ashen nest]

yeah and now what

[ashen nest]

i dont understand

[lost rivet]

** You are now Level 3! **

[spice pike]

[ashen nest]

wahat do i put in

[ashen nest]

like the line

[spice pike]
