how do i make my announcements gui go to every server?

Asked May 1, 2021197 views2 answers

here is the script inside the submit button (the announcement only goes to 1 server so help me make it go to every server by giving me an improved script):

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Sound.Playing=true
	local textbox = script.Parent.Parent.Text

	game.ReplicatedStorage.AnnouncementEvent:FireServer(textbox)

end)

here is the script that is inside the announcement text:

game.ReplicatedStorage.AnnouncementEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)
	print(text)
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = true
	script.Parent.Text = text
	wait(5)
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false

end)

In order to send a message across all servers, you need something that can be used to connect to all servers. In this case, we'll use the easiest method; a DataStore Instance.

This is a brief example of what it may look like.

-- ServerScript

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local GlobalChatData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("GlobalChatData")

local AnnouncementEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("AnnouncementEvent") or Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
AnnouncementEvent.Name = "AnnouncementEvent"
AnnouncementEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
AnnouncementEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(caller, message)
	if table.find({293895601}, caller.UserId) then -- Whitelist, to avoid cheaters.
		GlobalChatData:SetAsync(game.GameId, "[@" .. caller.DisplayName .. "]: " .. message)
	end
end)

GlobalChatData:OnUpdate(game.GameId, function(message: string)
	AnnouncementEvent:FireAllClients(message)
end)

Now for the LocalScript.

-- LocalScript

local GuiButton = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("GuiButton")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local AnnouncementEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("AnnouncementEvent")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

AnnouncementEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message)
	-- The second argument of SetAsync in the serverscript is used here.
	StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
		["Text"] = message,
		["Color"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 180, 0),
	})
end)

GuiButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	pcall(function() script:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Sound"):Play() end)
	local TextBox = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("TextBox")
	ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("AnnouncementEvent"):FireServer(TextBox.Text)
end)

This isn't perfect, but this is a helping website. We're not here to write it for you, but I've written some of it for you with practices that I believe are necessary. Feel free to use.

It's best to use Roblox's Messaging Service. You can send a message through it easily.

local TOPIC_NAME = "Messages"
local MessagingService = game:GetService("MessagingService")

function sendMessage(message)
	MessagingService:PublishAsync(TOPIC_NAME, message)
end

function onMessage(message)
	-- announce message here
end

MessagingService:SubscribeAsync(TOPIC_NAME, onMessage)

If you want more functionality with MessagingService (such as allowing servers to reply to messages sent through a topic), you could try an open-source module like Messenger.
