Will a script like this remove a message? I want to make silent commands. But I don't know how, if possible, to remove messages..
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
local CheckAdmin = emodule.CheckAdmin(Player)
if CheckAdmin then
Player.Chatted:connect(function(Chat)
Chat:Remove()
end)
end
end)
You could use ROBLOX's emotes system or /e, to simulate a "silent" command. Using the substitution function of the string library, you could check if the user's message starts with /e, and proceed accordingly.
I will just edit the snippet you've provided with minor additions to demonstrate just what it is I'm talking about.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
local CheckAdmin = emodule.CheckAdmin(Player)
if CheckAdmin then
Player.Chatted:connect(function(Chat)
-- Chat is the string chatted by `Player`
-- Check if the first two characters start are '/e'
if string.sub(Chat, 1, 2) == '/e' then
-- if yes, consider everything after words
-- to avoid issues with distinguishing commands
-- from chat.
Chat = string.sub(Chat, 4)
print('secret chat')
else
print('not-so-secret')
end
end)
end
end)

It's impossible to remove chats without a custom Chat Gui.
Dang it.
You could use the emotes system to get around having others seeing your chats
It would be pretty easy to use a textbox to enter commands, rather than the chat, yeah?
