How do you make a special chat tag if someone owns a certain gamepass?

For example, if someone says something in the chat, their name will show up as "[VIP]" and then their name. I've seen a lot of games that have this feature. I just can't figure out how you add the tag to the player's name. If one of you know how to script quite well, it would be kind to help me with this.

Here's what I've tried:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local tags = Instance.new("Folder", player)
    tags.Name = "Tags"
    if (service:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepassId)) then
        local newTag = Instance.new("IntValue", tags)
        newTag.Name = "VIP"
        local chatColor = Instance.new("Color3Value", newTag)
        chatColor.Name = "ChatColor"
        chatColor.Value = BrickColor.new("Gold").Color
        local tagColor = Instance.new("Color3Value", newTag)
        tagColor.Name = "TagColor"
        tagColor.Value = Color3.fromRGB(239, 184, 56)
    end
end)

Its simple, roblox already have a module script for this.

Example:


-- Server script

local gamepassId = 0 -- Your gamepass id
local service = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if (service:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepassId)) then -- check if have gamepass

        local tags = { -- table for tags
            { -- first tag
                TagText = "VIP", -- Tag text
                TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(239, 184, 56) -- TagColor 
            }
        }

        local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService) -- Get chat service

        -- Get speaker
        local speaker = nil
        while speaker == nil do
            speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name)
            if speaker ~= nil then break end
            wait(0.01)
        end

        speaker:SetExtraData("Tags",tags) -- Set tags
        speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor",Color3.fromRGB(239, 184, 56)) -- Change chat color, and dont use BrickColor.new(...).Color
    end
end)

Hope it helped :D

Solved your problems? put in title [SOLVED] or accept a answer.

+1, btw you're the first person on this site that I see using ChatService by requiring it from ServerScriptService (that's what i do aswell), rather than by parenting a module to ChatModules under Chat. Amiaa16 3227 — 6y
