How could I change the name of players in the chat?

I'm working on a murder mystery game, And I've made a lot of progress. I've added the randomized player appearances and random names, But I want players to have the same name in the chat rather than their account name. How could I do this? I've looked through all the scripts in the chat, But it's way beyond my understanding. Could someone help me find the part of the script I need to edit, And what script do I need to edit? I've looked through them and looked through the wiki article but I've had no luck.

You will need a custom chat that is scripted by you for your needs. You have nothing to do with Roblox's own chat for such thing.

If you think a fully new chat is too confusing, just make the game only bubble chat, then add a GUI which will show people's messages with their nick that has been given randomly. Player.Chatted event is what you will need for this.

  1. Why the need for caps? 2. Why not put this as a comment? This fits more into a comment rather than an answer, as your "answer" just sounds like a suggestion. 3. You have a run on sentence: it makes it hard to understand what you're trying to point out. 4. I'll give you props for giving a good suggestion; but again, your answer fits more into a comment rather than an answer.
