Why does my kick on chat script doesn't work? Making a family friendly game.
Hi there, back with another kick script needing help.
So this time I need help with this, why does my "kick on chat" script doesn't work?
01 | local canKick = {"LocalPlayer"} |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
04 | for _, c in pairs(canKick) do |
05 | if plr.Name == c then |
06 | plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) |
07 | if string.sub(msg,1,5) == "Damn" then |
08 | local pl = game.Players:FindFirstChild(string.sub(msg,7)) |
09 | if pl then |
10 | pl:Kick("Kicked for bad language.") |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 | end) |
Just wanting help with this, just making a family friendly chat game! ;)
Thanks!

What if they write the swear word somewhere else in their message? Also, why do you not use Roblox's default chat filter? User#25115 0 — 6y

Why? People can counter it dude. Seen people saying words such as Phak etc. That BYPASSES Roblox's horrible tagged chat filter anyways. LOL. CR_BEAST123 22 — 6y

If an API made by professionals is bypassed then I don't see how you can do any better https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Text-and-Chat-Filtering xPolarium 1388 — 6y

You would want to use other string methods so they can't bypass the filter so easily. The find and lower keywords would work good for this case.
01 | local Kickable = {"ThatPreston"} |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
04 | for _, Entry in pairs(Kickable) do |
05 | if Entry == Player.Name then |
06 | Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message) |
07 | Message = string.lower(Message) -- > make the message lowercase |
08 | if string.find(Message, "damn") then -- > check if damn is in the message |
09 | Player:Kick("Kicked for bad language.") -- > kick the player |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
12 | break |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
You'd want to put this script in ServerScriptService, ideally. You didn't clarify where or what your previous script was, but you'd typically want something like this on the server, in a normal script. I hope this helps! Good luck!
