Why, wont this help command work?

Asked 252 views3 answers

So I am trying to make a help command for all players, but this part seems not to work.

local BotMessage = game.Workspace.Help_Loader.BotMessage
local mr = math.random(1,3)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		if msg == "Bot" or "Bot, I need help" or "Bot, help" then
				if mr == 1 then
				BotMessage.Visible = true
				BotMessage.Text = plr.Name..", how may I help you?"
				wait(2)
				print("Success")
				BotMessage.Visible = false
				BotMessage.Text = "  " 
				
				if mr == 2 then
				BotMessage.Visible = true
				BotMessage.Text = plr.Name..", I am here to assist!"
				wait(2)
				print("Success")
				BotMessage.Visible = false
				BotMessage.Text = "  " 
				
				if mr == 3 then
				BotMessage.Visible = true
				BotMessage.Text = plr.Name..", alright, alright, I am here now!"
				wait(2)
				print("Success")
				BotMessage.Visible = false
				BotMessage.Text = "  " 
				
				end	
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Is BotMessage a BillBoardGui or SurfaceGui?

It's in the script but I want it to be on the screen though, even though I tried a ScreenGUI.

So it is a GUI within the script? And you want it to appear to the player who calls for a bot, correct? Is this a Server Script or LocalScript?

Regular script, but it is a textLabel unless it is suppose to be a GUi within the script, is it?

In the first line, try changing it to:

local BotMessage = game.Workspace["Help_Loader"].BotMessage

And you set Variable "plr" to the LocalPlayer so make sure you're using a Local Script because it does not work in server scripts.

Instead u could set the "Player" parameter from your PlayerAdded function to the "plr" variable, like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
local plr = Player
-- Code --
end)

In line 6 it says:

 player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)

See where the Connect is it is suppose to be connect, BUT it doesn't show an error but it wont work still.
