Why does this snip from the wiki about chat system not working?

local function Run(ChatService)
    local myChannel = ChatService:AddChannel("MyChannel")

-- Set the message that is shown when a user joins the channel 
    myChannel.WelcomeMessage = "Welcome to my channel!"
    -- Causes players to automatically join the channel when they enter the game
    myChannel.AutoJoin = true
end

return Run

The code is supposed to make a channel when you join and welcome you, but it doesn't seem to do it? I don't know if it's missing anything. I tried to search stuff in Google about it and it doesn't show relevant results.

It also says:

the channel object only needs to be used when calling members of that channel (such as its properties and functions).

but I can't really get it into me or understand it. The script is a module script and is parented in the ChatModule of the chat service.

Not sure, but I think you don't need the "local" next to the function, and you have to put the "return Run" inside the function. MakeYourEscape 334 — 6y

yeah local next to the function probably isnt needed but i heard putting it there makes the script run faster. im pretty sure "return run" is needed outside the function because it's a module script. then again though, as i mentioned it's a snip from the wiki. not my code noposts 75 — 6y
