Chat script cannont concantenate local 'msg'?
Basically, I made a chat. On the main script, an error occurs on line 20, "attempt to concantenate local 'msg' a nil value" I have no idea whats wrong with it. Nor do I know what this means...
ServerScript:
function UpdateOldLabels(Parent)
for i,v in pairs (Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
if LineNumber == 12 then
v:Destroy()
else
v.Name = "line" .. tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.035, 0)
end
end
end
end
function NewLine(parent, plr, msg)
local New = Instance.new("TextLabel", parent)
New.Text = plr.Name .. ": " .. msg
New.Size = UDim2.new(0.35, 0, 0.026, 0)
New.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.315, 0)
New.BorderSizePixel = 0
New.BackgroundTransparency = 1
New.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
New.TextStrokeTransparency = 1
New.FontSize = "Size10"
New.TextXAlignment = "Left"
New.TextYAlignment = "Top"
New.Name = "Line1"
New.ClipsDescendants = true
end
workspace.Events.Other.Chat.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, msg)
for _,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
NewLine(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Chat.Container.ChatLines, plr, msg)
UpdateOldLabels(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Chat.Container.ChatLines)
end
end)
LocalScript:
script.Parent.InputEnded:connect(function()
game.Workspace.Events.Other.Chat:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer, script.Parent.Text)
script.Parent.Text = [[Click here or press the "/" key to chat.]]
end)

There's no end in the third or first code; is this not the full script, if not, could you please provide it? :) And are you using a Local or Server script? TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 8y

The problem is that OnServerEvent automatically provides the player who's client fired the event, so you don't need to provide it.
Signal OnServerEvent (
??? Player player,
??? Variant... arguments
)
When you given the arguments player, message to FireServer, the function connected to OnServerEvent receives the arguments player, player, message. To fix this, try passing the text in as the only argument to FireServer.
Example:
Server
RemoteEvent.OnServerInvoke:Connect(function(player, message)
print(player.Name .. " says: " .. message)
end)
Client
RemoteEvent:FireServer("Message")
