How do I use FilterStringAsync() from the service; TextService?

Asked 422 views1 answers

I'm very confused on how to use FilterStringAsync from a Service called, TextService. Here is the script, NOTE: it's in a server script!

--note; TS = game:GetService("TextService")

local other = string.sub(msg,7):upper()
local filter = TS:FilterStringAsync(other,player.UserId)
wait(0.2)
MessageEvent:FireAllClients("[WARNING]: "..filter,BrickColor.new("Crimson").Color)

For the error, it states that Line 6 has the error. The error is; attempted to index local 'filter' (a userdata value), any help?

What? That's not a function, nor what it even looks like what is being accomplished.

the Chat service is the only service with filter methods, it can be used for any text not only chat messages.

Chat = game:GetService("Chat")

local other = msg:upper():sub(7)
local filtered = Chat:FilterStringForBroadcast(other,player)
MessageEvent:FireAllClients("[WARNING]: " .. filter,BrickColor.new("Crimson").Color)
