How would you send a message to the chat globally?
1 | game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("SendNotification",{ |
2 | Text = "test"; |
3 | Title = "test"; |
4 | Color = Color3.new(0,1,1) |
5 | }) |
So I've been told that SendNotification is an API, but it hasn't been developed yet.
1 | game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{ |
2 | Text = "Welcome, "..player.Name.."."; |
3 | Color = Color3.new(0,1,1) |
4 | }) |
However, there is ChatMakeSystemMessage, which is working. The problem I am running into is that I want it to display globally, meaning that every user can see the message, rather than just the LocalPlayer.
For those of you who don't know, the script has to be a LocalScript & located in the StarterGui. Help would be appreciated.

I would use RemoteEvents for this. When you have a RemoteEvent all you do is call FireAllClients() and the same thing happens to everyone.
LocalScript in StarterGui:
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local RE = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game.ReplicatedStorage) |
3 | RE.Name = "Chat" |
4 | RE.OnClientEvent:connect(function(msg, color) |
5 | game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", { |
6 | Text = msg or "Hello, world!"; |
7 | Color = color or Color3.new(0, 1, 1) |
8 | }) |
9 | end) |
Script in ServerScriptService:
01 | local RE = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Chat") |
02 |
03 |
04 | -- welcome message |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
06 | RE:FireAllClients(plr.Name.." has joined the server.", Color3.new(0, 1, 0)); |
07 | end) |
08 |
09 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr) |
10 | RE:FireAllClients(plr.Name.." has left the server.", Color3.new(1, 0, 0); |
11 | end) |
12 |
13 | -- general information messages |
14 | local info = {"fav the game!", "thumb up the game pls!", "follow my twitter!"} |

This method might be a bit barbarian, but it should work:
Put a StringValue named "Chat" in Workspace. Put this LocalScript in every Player.
1 | ChatValue = game.Workspace.Chat |
2 |
3 | Chat.Changed:connect(function(property) |
4 | game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", { |
5 | Text = Chat.Value; |
6 | Color = color or Color3.new(0, 1, 1)}) |
7 | end) |
And then have this Script in workspace too:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
2 | game.Workspace.Chat.Value = "Welcome, "..player.Name |
3 | end) |
