Help With This Custom Chat GUI?

My custom chat GUI made to resemble the original ROBLOX chat is broken. Everything I type out comes out as gibberish and when I type another thing in it doesn't appear nor does the original line move up.

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.new(1,1,1)
25            newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
26            newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 0.4
27            newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0
28            newchatline.FontSize = "Size10"
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
36    end)
37end)

Also, does anyone know if it's possible to make the names a separate color and add a semicolon (";") at the end of the name?

CHnage it to:

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=='DapperLink123' and ("[TAG HERE BEHIDE THE NAME] "..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.Name=="DapperLink123" and BrickColor.new("Bright red").Color or 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"

It adds a Tag beside you name It also has that a certain person has a certain color

You didn't really answer my question, but thanks. DapperLink123 30 — 11y

Well thats what you asked for... RedstoneStudios 0 — 11y

Sort of. I didn't need the tag, I only needed a semicolon after the name, and the color didn't work. On the bright side, you DID fix the moving up, the deleting, and the gibberish. :D Thanks. DapperLink123 30 — 11y

I just got -2 D: Your welcome RedstoneStudios 0 — 11y
