How do I add Tips into my chat GUI?
I am trying to add like something to were every like 30 seconds something pops up in the chat GUI. I would like it to were like [SERVER INFO]: Words....
Chat GUI:
function UpdateOldLabels(Parent)
for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
if LineNumber == "12" then
v:Destroy()
else
v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,15)
end
end
end
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
for _,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
UpdateOldLabels(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
newchatline.Text = player.Name=='EmperorF' and ("[SMITE FOUNDER] "..player.Name.. ": " ..msg) or (player.Name.. ": " ..msg)
newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,15)
newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,-15)
newchatline.Font = "SourceSansBold"
newchatline.TextColor3 = player.Name=="EmperorF" and BrickColor.new("Bright red").Color or player.TeamColor.Color
newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 1
newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0
newchatline.FontSize = "Size14"
newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left"
newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top"
newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true
newchatline.Name = "line1"
end
UpdateOldLabels(game:GetService("StarterGui").ChatGui.Frame)
newchatline:Clone().Parent = game:GetService("StarterGui").ChatGui.Frame
end)
end)

The best way to do it would be to treat it like normal chat.
Unfortunately, the code you have does not modularly render a line of a chat, so we have to rework it a little.
Since when we're chatting we specify the player and what they said, we need to make our chat function take those in and work. We use the same procedure, however, for this.
function Chat(msg,player)
for _,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
UpdateOldLabels(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
newchatline =
Instance.new("TextLabel",
v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChatGui.Frame)
newchatline.Text =
player.Name=='EmperorF'
and ("[SMITE FOUNDER] "..player.Name.. ": " ..msg)
or (player.Name.. ": " ..msg)
newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,15)
newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,-15)
newchatline.Font = "SourceSansBold"
newchatline.TextColor3 =
player.Name=="EmperorF" and BrickColor.new("Bright red").Color
or player.TeamColor.Color
newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 1
newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0
newchatline.FontSize = "Size14"
newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left"
newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top"
newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true
newchatline.Name = "line1"
end
UpdateOldLabels(game:GetService("StarterGui").ChatGui.Frame)
newchatline:Clone().Parent =
game:GetService("StarterGui").ChatGui.Frame
end
We then just use that function inside the Chatted event.
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
Chat(msg,player);
end)
end)
Like this, the script will function exactly the same. The only new thing is the thing which automatically calls Chat, which would be something like this:
local Server = {Name="[INFO]", TeamColor=BrickColor.new("Bright blue")};
-- Since we ask for the Name and BrickColor on players, we need
-- to make an object which has those properties.
while true do
wait(30);
Chat("I like apples.",Server);
wait(30);
Chat("Don't forget your coats you hung up in the waiting room!",Server);
end
