How do I get a message filtered in a GUI?
Alright, so I've made a warning system, scripted it myself (copying = bad).
Anyways, I'd like to make it so the string is filtered, right now I get this result.
Here is a snippet of my code, I've tried to include FilterStringAsync() but got no where.
1 | local WarnReason = Message:split(TargetUser)[2] -- !warn User **Reason** |
2 |
3 | WarningGuiClone.WarningNum.Value = WarningGuiClone.WarningNum.Value + 1 |
4 |
5 | WarningGuiClone.WarnLabel.Text = ("Warning "..WarningGuiClone.WarningNum.Value.." - "..WarnReason) |
If you need more comment so!
Anyways thanks for the help, peace.

Try using FilterStringForBroadcastAsync, which only uses two arguments.

The client cant use TextService
TextService is non-replicated, meaning it only works in ServerScripts. We'll need to send our string to the server and back.
How to get around this
We'll need to use RemoteFunctions.
Keep all your local code but instead trigger a RemoteFunction with the string you want to filter. Like so:
LocalScript
1 | local RemoteFunction = -- The location of a RemoteFunction |
2 |
3 | RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(string) |
Ref for InvokeServer
Now we filter it and return it.
ServerScript
1 | local RemoteFunction = -- The location of the same RemoteFunction |
2 |
3 | RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(string) |
4 | -- code to filter it |
5 | return filteredString |
6 | end |
Ref for OnServerInvoke
Back to the LocalScript so we can store the filtered string in a variable.
LocalScript
1 | local RemoteFunction = -- The location of a RemoteFunction |
2 |
3 | local filteredString = RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(string) |
Now you use filteredString for whatever you want to do with the filtered string.
