Why aren't my system messages' FontSize changing?

Hello all, I have some code that is supposed to send a system message in the chat about who the player is and if they joined or left.

Now, the FontSize in the OnClientEvent in the LocalScript isn't changing. I know that the default value is 18, but I set it to Size12 on Line 13 and it didn't change the size.

Is this because of the parameters or the arguments or something?

LocalScript:

01local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
02local Players = game:GetService("Players")
03local Player = Players.LocalPlayer 
04local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
05local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerJoinedorRemoved") 
06 
07RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerToDisplay,action) 
08    if action == "Joined" then
09        game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", { 
10            Text = ("[SYSTEM] "..playerToDisplay.Name.." has joined the server.");
11            Color = Color3.fromRGB(97, 255, 142);
12            Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold;
13            FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size12
14        })
15 
16    elseif action == "Left" then
17        game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", { 
18            Text = ("[SYSTEM] "..playerToDisplay.Name.." has left the server.");
19            Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 51, 71);
20            Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold;
21            FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size12
22        })
23    end
24end)

Server Script:

01local Players = game:GetService("Players")
02local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
03local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerJoinedorRemoved")
04 
05Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(playerAdded)
06    RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(playerAdded,"Joined") 
07end)
08 
09Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(playerRemoved)
10    RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(playerRemoved,"Left")
11end)

When in doubt, read the Wiki!

First, the name of the fourth table entry for :SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage"){} is not FontSize. Instead, it is TextSize. Next, the value accepted for this entry is not the enum values for FontSize. Instead, it is an integer. Here is the fixed code, and, again, please read the wiki when in doubt. It can solve most of your issues before you ever have to come here!

01local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
02local Players = game:GetService("Players")
03local Player = Players.LocalPlayer 
04local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
05local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerJoinedorRemoved") 
06 
07RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerToDisplay,action) 
08    if action == "Joined" then
09        game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", { 
10            Text = ("[SYSTEM] "..playerToDisplay.Name.." has joined the server.");
11            Color = Color3.fromRGB(97, 255, 142);
12            Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold;
13            TextSize = 12
14        })
15 
16    elseif action == "Left" then
17        game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", { 
18            Text = ("[SYSTEM] "..playerToDisplay.Name.." has left the server.");
19            Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 51, 71);
20            Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold;
21            TextSize = 12
22        })
23    end
24end)
