Why is my Chat Command not working?

Asked by

When the player say ":D", an image should appear above the player's head. The image is made up from a BillboardGui, which I put inside the script.

function onChatted(msg, speaker)

    source = string.lower(speaker.Name)
    msg = string.lower(msg)

    if (msg == ":D") then 
        local laugh = script.Laugh:Clone() -- The BillboardGui is called "Laugh"
        laugh.Parent = speaker.Character.Head
        wait(2)
        laugh:remove() -- image should remove after 2 seconds
    end
end

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer) 
    newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg) onChatted(msg, newPlayer) end) 
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

When I say ":D" in game nothing happens, but when I dragged the BillboardGui inside the player's head in studio mode, the image appears like it should. Help please?

Thanks.

Have you set the Adornee of the billboard gui?

It looks like your script is fine, but I don't see you setting it's Adornee. Here;

local laugh = script.Laugh
laugh:clone().Parent = speaker.Character.Head
laugh.Adornee = speaker.Character.Head
wait(2)
speaker.Head.Laugh:destroy()

Try this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
    if msg == ":D" then 
        local laugh = script.Laugh
        laugh:clone().Parent = speaker.Character.Head
        wait(2)
        speaker.Head.Laugh:destroy()
    end
end)
end)
