Why does my script print out 'Error occurred, no output from Lua.'?

Asked 717 views1 answers

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, 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.
