How do I get this message appear on one persons screen with a normal script?

Asked 637 views2 answers

I am making a admin script and when someone says "cmds/" I want a message (A Normal message you know the :"Instance.new("Message") kind) that only shows on the player's screen. This is the code I have right know. 

if message:sub(1,5) == "cmds/" then
			local message = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
			message.Text = "Commands: btools | kick/ | msg/ | setmessage/ | remove/ | music/ | end/ | pause/ | resume/ | volume/ | reset/ | shutdown/"
			wait(5)
			message:Destroy()
		end

local plrs = game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren() --Get players

ChatEvent = function(sender) --sender is the person who sent the message
	sender.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) --msg is the msg itself (as a string)
		if string.lower(msg:sub(1,5)) == "cmds/" then
			local message = Instance.new("Message", sender:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui"))
			message.Text = "Commands: btools | kick/ | msg/ | setmessage/ | remove/ | music/ | end/ | pause/ | resume/ | volume/ | reset/ | shutdown/"
			wait(5)
			message:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end

for _,OldPlayer in pairs(plrs) do --you should keep this as you can then test in studio
	ChatEvent(OldPlayer)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(NewPlayer) --New player is the player that joined
	ChatEvent(NewPlayer)
end)

This would be a server script. It works, when I tested it. Hope this answers your question.
