How to add a Insert box to this custom chat Gui? + How to delete the main chat? [closed]

Asked by 8 years ago
Edited 8 years ago

Know I have a Chat output - But how to get a inputbox (Where I set the msg I will say)

Sorry for the big code

Using this code:

local gui = {}

function percent(x,y) return UDim2.new(x/100,0,y/100,0) end function gui:percent(x,y) return percent(x,y) end
function scale(x,y) return UDim2.new(x,0,y,0) end           function gui:scale(x,y) return scale(x,y) end
function pixels(x,y) return UDim2.new(0,x,0,y) end          function gui:pixels(x,y) return pixels(x,y) end

local recolor = "BackgroundColor3"

function color(r,g,b)
    return Color3.fromRGB(r,g,b)
end
function gui:color(...) return color(...) end

function gui:pgui() return game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") end

local ColorTranslateAPI = function(text)
    -- Description: Translates text to a brick color so you dont have to input exact names
    local colors = {
        ["red"] = BrickColor.new("Really red"),
        ["dark red"] = BrickColor.new("Bright red"),
