How do I restrict a custom channel (ChatService) to a certain group?

Asked by

I've currently got this for making a staff channel:

local function Run(ChatService)

    local staffChannel = ChatService:AddChannel("Staff")

    staffChannel.WelcomeMessage = "Welcome to the staff chat! Grammar is still required in this chat, only staff can see this channel."
    staffChannel.Joinable = false


end

I want to make it so only rank ... from group ... can see and enter/leave the chat. But I can't find much documentation

i've found a ton of documentation, not sure where you were looking. https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Lua-Chat-System/API/ChatService https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Lua-Chat-System/API/ChatSpeaker User#22604 1 — 5y

Here you go, you just have to change Group and Rank and then it should work.

local Group = 0
local Rank = 100
local function Run(ChatService)

    local staffChannel = ChatService:AddChannel("Staff")

    staffChannel.WelcomeMessage = "Welcome to the staff chat! Grammar is still required in this chat, only staff can see this channel."
    staffChannel.Joinable = false

    ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(Speaker)
        if Speaker.PlayerObj and Speaker.PlayerObj:GetRankInGroup(Group) >= Rank then
            staffChannel:InternalAddSpeaker(Speaker)
        end
    end)
end
