So i was trying to make a custom chat, there are 2 scripts, the other in ServerScriptService is working alright, but the script inside the chat is not, its the script that shows the message.

SCRIPTS:

The Faulty Script:

01local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local OriginalText = "Click here or press '/' to send a message"
03local Chat = script.Parent
04local ChatFrame = script.Parent.MainCustomChatWindow
05local ChatBar = script.Parent.MainCustomChatWindow.SendChatFrame.PlayerSendBox
06local Frame = script.Parent.MainCustomChatWindow.PlayerTextBoxHolder
07local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
08if UIS.TouchEnabled then
09    OriginalText = OriginalText
10    ChatBar.Text = OriginalText
11end
12UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, GameProcessed)
13    if GameProcessed then return end
14    if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Slash then
15        ChatBar:CaptureFocus()
16    end
17end)
18local function ChatFunction(Message)
19    game.ReplicatedStorage.Message:FireServer(Message)
20end
21ChatBar.FocusLost:Connect(function(EnterPressed)
22    if EnterPressed then
23        local Message = ChatBar.Text
24        if Message:len() > 0 then
25            ChatFunction(Message)
26        else
27                if Message:lower() == Message:upper() and Message ~= "" and Message ~= " " and Message ~= "  " and Message ~= "   " and Message ~= "    " and Message ~= "     " and Message ~= "      " and Message ~= "       " then
28                    ChatFunction(Message)
29                end
30        end
31    end
32    ChatBar.Text = OriginalText
33end)
34ChatFrame.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
35    ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency = 0
36    Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0
37    for i=1,5 do
38        ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency = ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency + 0.04
39        Frame.BackgroundTransparency = Frame.BackgroundTransparency + 0.04
40        wait()
41    end
42    ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency = 0.77
43    Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0.77
44end)
45ChatFrame.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
46    ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency = 0.77
47    Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0.77
48    for i=1,5 do
49        ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency = ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency - 0.04
50        Frame.BackgroundTransparency = Frame.BackgroundTransparency - 0.04
51        wait()
52    end
53    ChatBar.BackgroundTransparency = 0
54    Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0
55end)
56game.ReplicatedStorage.Message.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Message)
57    local i = Instance.new("TextLabel",Frame)
58    i.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0.1,0)
59    i.TextScaled = false
60    i.BackgroundTransparency = 1
61    i.Font = Enum.Font.SciFi

63    i.TextColor3 = Color3.new(235,235,233)

66    i.TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Left
67    i.TextYAlignment = Enum.TextYAlignment.Top

It is inside the ScreenGui of the Chat, not inside the ChatFrame so script.Parent = ScreenGui

It is probably cloning itself and trying to find Position on it, which does not exist but I don't know how to fix it or why it is happening

It is having errors at line 75: l.Position = UDim2.new(0,0, (c-1)*0.1,0)

This is a LocalScript

And the other script:

01local ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
02local MessageEvent = ReplicatedStorage.Message
03local APrefix = [[/]]
04local Owners = {"166660143", "260932086"}

21    end
22    return false

54    else
55            PRAW(p, "Message Sent To "..v.Name)
56            PRAW(v,"From "..Name..": "..Message:sub(1,40))
57    end
58end
59MessageEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p,m)
60    if m:sub(1,6):lower() == "/mute " then
61        m=m:sub(7)
62    elseif m:sub(1,8):lower() == "unmute " then
63        m=m:sub(9)
64    elseif m:sub(1,3):lower() == "/w" then
65        m=m:sub(4)
66    elseif m:sub(1,1) == APrefix and isAdmin(p) then
67        m=m:sub(2)
68    else
69        Chat(p,m)
70    end
71end)

74    local mutedfolder = Instance.new("Folder",p)
75    mutedfolder.Name = "Muted"
76end)

Which appears to have no errors at all and is a normal Script

I cant see the problem? (Position is not a valid member of LocalScript)
