How do I make a Chat function?
So what I'm needing is, When someone says a word, something happens. Its hard to explain, here is my script at the moment.
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
Player.Chatted:connect(function(Message)
if Message == ("Lumos") then
script.Parent.Handle.ParticlePart.Lumos.Enabled = true
end
end)
end)
I've tested with other things but I'm just not able to make this work.
(The script is in a Gear, the gear has a handle and in the is the mesh and particlepart, inside particlepart is a particle emitter. The gear is also in starter pack)

You may prefer to use Lua string patterns instead. Instead of Message == ("Lumos") you could try Message:match(".*Lumos.*") so that the player can say Lumos wherever in the sentence. NotInventedHere 158 — 7y

What you needed to do was to check if the player has equipped the tool and then initiate the chat function.
tool = script.Parent
particle = tool.Handle.ParticlePart.Lumos
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
tool.Equipped:connect(function()
print('Enter')
player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
if string.lower(msg) == 'lumos' then
print('Works')
particle.Enabled = true
end
end)
end)

This is how i use player chatted functions just tweak it a little and it'll work.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:connect(function(Msg)
local msg = Msg:lower()
if string.sub(msg, 1, 13) == "Lumos" then
wait(0.1)
print("hi")
---------//do what you want here\\--------------
---------//you might need to add another end depending on what you write\\--------------
end
end)
end)
