.Chatted event is what detects chat. However, you'll need to connect it to everyone:
Normal script in ServerScriptService:
function newPlayer(p)
p.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
if msg == "Pie is cool!" then
-- Stuff you want to happen (use p to reference the player who said it)
end
end)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(newPlayer)
for _,v in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
newPlayer(v)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
if msg=="Pie is cool!"then
print(player.Name.." chatted \"Pie is cool!\"")
end
end)
end)
The Chatted event listens to everything a player says.

You didn't connect the early-birds to the function. It's not considered incorrect, but it just means that if a player joins the game before the script is done loading, they won't get any effect when they chat "Pie is cool!".
Players don't join before the script is done loading online.
That isn't necessarily a true statement.
It's true so long as it isn't ran locally.
