Cap it

Every time the text changes, just make sure that the text is within a certain length. This can be done withstring.sub

TextBox.Changed:connect(function()
	TextBox.Text = TextBox.Text:sub(1,50);
end);

That would restrain the text length to 50 characters, by making sure that every time anything changes in the TextBox the string has anything past the 50th character cut off. Make sure that you define TextBox.
