How Do I Make This Chat GUI Work?

Asked by

I am trying to make a Chat GUI but whenever I test it, it does full caps, the one line of text doesn't move when I type in another thing, it's nontransparent, there's a border, the text is tiny, and the color is wrong. Can anyone help?

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").ScreenGui.Frame)
19            newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScreenGui.Frame)
20            newchatline.Text = player.Name.. ": " ..msg
21            newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,15)
22            newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,-15)
23            newchatline.Font = "Arial"
24            newchatline.TextColor3 = Color3.random()
25            newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
26            newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 0.4
27            newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0
28            newchatline.FontSize = "Size16"
29            newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left"
30            newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top"
31            newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true
32            newchatline.Name = "line1"
33        end
34        UpdateOldLabels(game:GetService("StarterGui").ScreenGui.Frame)
35        newchatline:Clone().Parent = game:GetService("StarterGui").ScreenGui.Frame

you have inserted newchatline.TextColor3 = Color3.random() and Color3.random() isn't a function in studio so you can use colors by using an RGB code and the normal color string is newchatline.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1,1,1) so the script for normal would be

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").ScreenGui.Frame)
19            newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScreenGui.Frame)
20            newchatline.Text = 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 = Color3.new(1,1,1)
25            newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
26            newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 1

the gui would look like this MAKE SURE CHAT MODE IS ON BUBBLE OR IT WONT WORK

I think I know where the "Color3.random() from. I made an earlier post about it, and someone put it in to make the name colors random. Also, the color and transluency are fixed, but nothing else. DapperLink123 30 — 11y
