Why does my script print out 'Error occurred, no output from Lua.'?
I have a ChatFilter script that kicks players whenever they say a certain word in the blacklist. Although, this is not the case. Whenever a player joins the game, before they even speak, this error is printed to the output: 'Error occurred, no output from Lua'.
I am not sure what this means, as I have never heard of or even experienced this before. The error occurs on line 7.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local blacklist = {
"the code is", "code", "alpha";
}
Players.PlayerChatted:Connect(function(messageType, player, message)
for _, blocked in next, blacklist do
if string.match(message, blocked) then
player:Kick("[ChatFilter] You have said a word or phrase that has caused you to be kicked. You may rejoin.")
print("[Kick]"..player.Name.." has been kicked by [ChatFilter].")
end
end
end)

.PlayerChatted isn't a method of Players Service.
Note: This is a method, but this can't be used in scripts, only in the command bar
Use .Chatted of players.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
end)
end)
As for the blacklist, you pretty much have it right. I'd just use find, though, tbh.
local blacklist = {
"the code is";
"code";
"alpha";
}
local function isMsgAllowed(msg) -- functions make things nice (break code into chunks)
msg = msg:lower() -- make it lowercase
for _,blocked in next, blacklist do
if(msg:find(blocked))then
return false
end
end
return true
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if(not isMsgAllowed(msg))then
plr:Kick("MSG")
end
end)
end)

Isn't a method. |Sentence Afterwards| It's a method. CootKitty 311 — 6y

@CootKitty, may I suggest an improvement? Perhaps you could make it check if it was a letter or two off aswell, that way players couldn't substitute in symbols or the like and bypass the filter. MedievalBeast4 4 — 6y
