Hello guys I'm back, this time with a slightly longer question, I am trying to make a filtering enabled chat gui but am having an issue. The message is meant to be made locally, then through a remote-event is cloned onto everyone's client other than the senders, here is the code:
Local code: (creates gui for the sender, successfully moves all other messages up one)
player.Chatted:connect(function(message)
local PG = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
repeat wait() until PG:FindFirstChild("chatter")
repeat wait() until PG.chatter:FindFirstChild("textboxy")
local Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chatter.textboxy
for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
if LineNumber == "9" then
v:Destroy()
else
v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,20)
end
end
end
newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chatter.textboxy)
if player then
newchatline.Text = player.Name.. ": " ..message
else
newchatline.Text = "System Message: " ..message
end
newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,20)
newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,-20)
newchatline.Font = "SourceSansBold"
newchatline.TextColor3 = player:FindFirstChild("color").Value.Color
newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 1
newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0
newchatline.FontSize = "Size18"
newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left"
newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top"
newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true
newchatline.Name = "line1"
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Chatted:InvokeServer(message)
end)
Server script: Message clones onto everyone's screens other than sender as intended, although it DOES NOT move the local message up one, for example if I send 3 messages "msg1""msg2""msg3" and then someone else sent one ("msg4") it would just overlap with message 3 and not send it up one rung of the ladder, if another person was to send a message after that it would move msg4 up but the local mesages would remain in place, I don't really understand this! From what I gather it is because the server script cannot access the local gui because of filtering enabled and therefore cannot move it up as it does not exist! The only way I can think of getting around this is by make everything client side, but I really wanted to do it this way in order to reduce lag!
Any ideas?
local PG = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
repeat wait() until PG:FindFirstChild("chatter")
repeat wait() until PG.chatter:FindFirstChild("textboxy")
for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
local Parent = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chatter.textboxy
for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
if LineNumber == "9" then
v:Destroy()
else
v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,20)
end
end
end
if v.Name ~= player.Name then
newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chatter.textboxy)
if player then
newchatline.Text = player.Name.. ": " .. message
else
newchatline.Text = "System Message: " .. message
end
newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,20)
newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,-20)
newchatline.Font = "SourceSansBold"
newchatline.TextColor3 = player:FindFirstChild("color").Value.Color

newchatline.FontSize = "Size18"
newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left"
newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top"
newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true
newchatline.Name = "line1"
end
end
local Parent2 = game:GetService("StarterGui").chatter.textboxy
for i,v in pairs(Parent2:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
if LineNumber == "9" then
v:Destroy()
else
v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,20)
end
end
end
if newchatline then
newchatline:Clone().Parent = game:GetService("StarterGui").chatter.textboxy
