So I know that when you use FilterStringAsync(), the returned value is an Instance. My question, however, is how would I get the string back from that Instance?
VoteStarting.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, title, option1, option2, option3, option4, option5)
if title ~= nil then
local fTitle = ts:FilterStringAsync(title, player.UserId)
end
end)
Thank you for taking the time to read and look into this!
In reality, I do not believe that you can do this. At least, I don't believe you can return a non-filtered version of the string.
If you look at the TextFilterResult returned by the TextService FilterStringAsync, you'll see it does have the ability to return the following:
GetChatForUserAsync
GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync
GetNonChatStringForUserAsync
None of which return a non-filtered version of the string that you decided to filter.
Though, you could return the filtered versions using these above functions.
There may be a way to do this that I am unaware of, but I am not finding it within the wiki article.
Ok, thank you
