Help with FilteringEnabled/Chat gui?
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)
01 | player.Chatted:connect(function(message) |
02 | local PG = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") |
03 | repeat wait() until PG:FindFirstChild("chatter") |
04 | repeat wait() until PG.chatter:FindFirstChild("textboxy") |
05 | local Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chatter.textboxy |
06 | for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do |
07 | if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then |
08 | local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5) |
09 | if LineNumber == "9" then |
12 | v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1) |
13 | v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,20) |
17 | newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").chatter.textboxy) |
19 | newchatline.Text = player.Name.. ": " ..message |
21 | newchatline.Text = "System Message: " ..message |
23 | newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,20) |
24 | newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,-20) |
25 | newchatline.Font = "SourceSansBold" |
26 | newchatline.TextColor3 = player:FindFirstChild("color").Value.Color |
27 | newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0 |
28 | newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 1 |
29 | newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0 |
30 | newchatline.FontSize = "Size18" |
31 | newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left" |
32 | newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top" |
33 | newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true |
34 | newchatline.Name = "line1" |
35 | game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Chatted:InvokeServer(message) |
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?
