How do you have a persons name that is a certain type of color. Below is the script!

01function UpdateOldLabels(Parent)
02    for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
03        if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
04            local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
05            if LineNumber == "12" then
06                v:Destroy()
07            else
08                v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
09                v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,15)
10            end
11        end
12    end
13end
14 
15game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
16    player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
17        for _,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
18            UpdateOldLabels(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
19            newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
20            newchatline.Text = player.Name=='EmperorF' and ("[OWNER] "..player.Name.. ": " ..msg) or (player.Name.. ": " ..msg)
21            newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,15)
22            newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,-15)
23            newchatline.Font = "SourceSansBold"
24            newchatline.TextColor3 = player.TeamColor.Color
25            newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
26            newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 1
27            newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0
28            newchatline.FontSize = "Size14"
29            newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left"
30            newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top"
31            newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true
32            newchatline.Name = "line1"
33        end
34        UpdateOldLabels(game:GetService("StarterGui").ChatGui.Frame)
35        newchatline:Clone().Parent = game:GetService("StarterGui").ChatGui.Frame

You would need to adapt this script to use two TextLabels; one for the name, and one for the message. Unless you would like the message and the name to be the same colour.

01function UpdateOldLabels(Parent)
02    for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
03        if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
04            local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
05            if LineNumber == "12" then
06                v:Destroy()
07            else
08                v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
09                v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,15)
10            end
11        end
12    end
13end

15game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
16    player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
17        for _,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
18            UpdateOldLabels(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
19            newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
20        newplayerline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
21            newchatline.Text = msg
22        newplayerline.Text = player.userId == Game.CreatorId and "[OWNER] "..player.Name or player.Name
23            newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(0.5,0,0,15)
24        newplayerline.Size = UDim2.new(0.5,0,0,15)
25            newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0.5,0,1,-15)
26        newplayerline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0,15)
27            newchatline.Font = "SourceSansBold"
28        newplayerline.Font = "SourceSansBold"
29            newchatline.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0) --Black message.

Untested, may or may not work.

`1`	`newchatline.TextColor3` `=` `player.TeamColor.Color`

Try changing that to this:

`1`	`newchatline.TextColor3` `=` `player.Name=="EmperorF"` `and` `BrickColor.new("Bright red").Color` `or` `BrickColor.new("Bright blue").Color`

It's not guaranteed that this will work, but I think it will. Let me know if anything goes wrong.

Mk, I'll try it tommorrow to see if it works. Thanks a lot you helped me a ton EmperorF 0 — 11y

This isn't what the asker was requesting. They stated that they wanted the name to be one colour and the message to be another. Articulating 1335 — 11y

Is the script in ServerScriptService? If not it needs to be in there.
