I'm trying to modify CloneTroopers Chat Script so it can show ranks on the side, so I thought I could take a bit of the code from ChatRecorder and merge it together but it does not want to work what am I doing wrong here?

I also have no errors right so ever...

The section I thought would work from ChatRecorder Modify it to show just ranks not the name of the group

groupid=782018

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(function (child) 
local label=Instance.new("StringValue",child) label.Name="Rank"
if child:IsInGroup(groupid) then label.Value=child:GetRoleInGroup(groupid) 
else label.Value="Player" 
end
end)  -- Added an extra end but now it's not showing the chat....

And here's the section I'm trying to modify to add ranks too... No output for this... If I have to post the whole script it's about 250 lines of code...

function Chat:CreateMessage(cPlayer, message)		
	local pName = cPlayer ~= nil and cPlayer.Name or 'GAME'	
	message = message:gsub("^%s*(.-)%s*$", "%1")		
	self.MessageQueue[#self.MessageQueue] = (#self.MessageQueue > self.Configuration.HistoryLength) and nil or self.MessageQueue[#self.MessageQueue]
	local pLabel = self.Templates.pLabel:clone()
	pLabel.Name = pName;
	pLabel.Text = pName.Rank .. " " .. pName .. ":";
	pLabel.Parent = self.RenderFrame;			
	pLabel.TextColor3 = (cPlayer.Neutral) and Chat:ComputeChatColor(pName) or cPlayer.TeamColor.Color 
	local nString = self.CachedSpaceStrings_List[pName] or Chat:ComputeSpaceString(pLabel)
	local mLabel = self.Templates.mLabel:clone()
	mLabel.Name = pName .. ' - message';					
	mLabel.TextColor3 = Chat.Configuration.MessageColor;					
	mLabel.Text = nString .. message;
	mLabel.Parent = self.RenderFrame;	
	local heightField = mLabel.TextBounds.Y	
	mLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, heightField/self.RenderFrame.AbsoluteSize.Y, 0)	
	pLabel.Size = mLabel.Size
	local yPixels = self.RenderFrame.AbsoluteSize.Y
	local yFieldSize = mLabel.TextBounds.Y
	local queueField = {}	
	queueField['Player'] = pLabel 
	queueField['Message'] = mLabel 
	queueField['SpawnTime'] = tick()
	table.insert(self.MessageQueue, 1, queueField)		
	Chat:UpdateQueue(queueField)
end

your first script is missing an end! You need an end that'll look like this: end) THEN you need an end like this: end <-- go end first then end) under

This scripting model you claimed is a bit advanced to help. Merging codes may not be a good idea unless you can understand everyline
