Chat GUI Help?
The chat works perfectly fine when only one person is in the server, when there is more than one person the script does not run past line 62/84(depending on whether or not I am the one chatting). It allows you to chat once but it'll only show up for you and then it will refuse to run past line 62/84 when it's supposed to be putting the message in the other people's PlayerGuis. I am not sure how I'd fix this, it must have something to do with the WaitForChild() or the for loop. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this problem? There was no output other than the prints

I directed you to line 62/84 because that is where I believe the problem lies. I only provided the whole code because it may be required. FearMeIAmLag 1161 — 9y

I did something like this, instead I made a Frame that needs to be duplicated on each player's PlayerGui. I think the problem is that you're running the code inside a LocalScript, that means the script cannot access entirely to all the players, you need to send the NewChatLine from a Server Side script, because it's the server that receives the message, not the player. I repeat that I made something like this in a LocalScript, it didn't work, then I did it in a NormalScript and it works! :) Try that! Also it's better to use "player.userId" instead of "player.Name", because if you change it (and then spend 1k R$) you need to update the place just for your name, the userId will be the same forever!
