How and When to Use the Chatted Event in Admin Scripts?
Hello, I am trying to make my own admin script, and I know that I need to use the Chatted Event, but I don't know how. I also need to use the "message" argument as the value of a variable, but I don't know how. Can you explain how to use both?

Using the chatted event:
The Chatted event is an event of PlayerObjects. When they fire, it simply returns two parameters; Message (string) and Recipient (player/userdata).
Message is what the player said, and Recipient is who they sent it to (if they whispered the message), otherwise it's nil.
01 | local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- needs to be a localscript for this line to not be nil |
02 |
03 | p.Chatted:connect(function(message,rec) |
04 | print("Player sent " ..message.. "to" ..tostring(rec)) |
05 | end) |
06 |
07 | -- you can also do: |
08 |
09 | function chat(message,rec) |
10 | print("Player sent " ..message.. "to" ..tostring(rec)) -- using tostring() stops the code from breaking if the player doesn't whisper their message, it would simply print "Player sent Hello! to", with no player. |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | p.Chatted:connect(chat) |
This code would print, for example: "Player sent Hello! to Firplius".
Hope I helped!
