For a some reason even with people help filter won't work?

Asked 175 views1 answers
local function OnEvent(plr, text)
	
	local TextService = game:GetService("TextService")
	
	local successful, result = pcall(TextService.FilterStringAsync, TextService, text, plr)
	
	if successful then
		local result_success, filtered = pcall(result.GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync, result)
		
		name.Text = filtered
	end
	
	if not successful then
		name.Text = "#"
		print("Filter")
	end
end

It just always gives "#" (it just always gives NOT successful) for a some reason, I did looked on how to work with GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync and did something like that but looks like it won't work and always gives # (even with team test that allows filter api)

That third parameter required by TextService:FilterStringAsync() is actually the player's UserId, not the player itself.

local successful, result = pcall(TextService.FilterStringAsync, TextService, text, plr.UserId)

It also might be wise to check for the success of that second pcall, as filtered may be nil if the call errors.

Another note: When the function inside of a pcall errors, that error message will be returned instead of your values. So you could print result if successful is false to see what the error was.
