Hi! I recently started trying to learn about how to create your own chat system so I chose to follow some tutorials. This one to be exact. I've followed every step and double checked everything but the thing is that even though it prints out the texts, it prints them out even if they are profane. And I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I know that there isn't anything wrong with the build in functions (obviously), so it has to be (I'm assuming) the way I use those functions.
I have a remote event in game.ReplicatedStorage
Local script:
--Local script local textbox = script.Parent local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") local sendMsg = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") textbox.FocusLost:Connect(function(text) sendMsg:FireServer(textbox.Text) textbox.Text = "" end) uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then if textbox:IsFocused() == false then textbox:CaptureFocus() end end end)
ServerScript:
--ServerScript local sendMsg = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") local textService = game.TextService-- or game:GetService("TextService") local function filterText(Input,player) local filteredtext local success, errorMessage = pcall(function() filteredtext = textService:FilterStringAsync(Input, player) end) if success then return filteredtext elseif errorMessage then print("error: ",errorMessage) end return false end local function filteredText(filtertext) local filteredMessage local success, errorMessage = pcall(function() filteredMessage = filtertext:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync() end) if success then return filteredMessage else print("error: ",errorMessage) end return false end local function isMessageValid(player, Message) if Message ~= "" then local messageObject = filterText(Message, player.UserId) local filteredMessageObj = "" filteredMessageObj = filteredText(messageObject) print(filteredMessageObj) game.Workspace.Part.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = filteredMessageObj end end sendMsg.OnServerEvent:Connect(isMessageValid)
Any help would be great.
