It doesn't look like you ever set a GUI to a value. You create what looks like a variable instead by doing Text ="... beeswithstingerss 41 — 5y

Text is not equal to anything inside of that picture, therefore, the game thinks text is a variable, not what you want the gui to be set as beeswithstingerss 41 — 5y

I'm not exactly sure what you were going for with this...

view source
1local chat = 'This is what will pop up'
2local PlayerName = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
3 
4game.StarterGui:SetCore('ChatMakeSystemMessage', {
5    Text = '[' .. PlayerName .. ']' .. chat
6})

I'm not sure how you have your gui's set or anything, that's going to have to be on you... But what I have above does work while in a localscript somewhere within the player.

You're going to have to be a little more detailed if you need some more help. Have any questions? Feel free to comment.

EDITED:

view source
01local StarterGui = game:GetService('StarterGui')
02local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
03 
04local frame = script.Parent.Parent
05local ChatSayer = script.Parent
06local thingtoSay = frame.ChatText
07 
08ChatSayer.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
09    StarterGui:SetCore('ChatMakeSystemMessage',
10        {
11            Text = '[' .. player.Name .. '] ' .. thingtoSay.Text
12        }
13    )
14end)

What I have here is it is setting it every time that you hit that 'ChatSayer' button. if this isn't what you were wanting then just take out the 'MouseButton1Click function and just set the text to whatever you'd like it to be...

Remember this is going to be local.. if you want it to work on the server you MUST filter it before it is actually sent

But I hope this helps

not sure what you mean with "How I have my gui set" but here is a screenshot of how it is, and if the gui itself also needs to be screenshotted then i'll include that also https://imgur.com/ND0PGVx RedWirePlatinum 53 — 5y

turns out all I had to do was make make the local chat's thing be game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui instead of just game.StarterGui, and also had to move the local chat inside of the button function, thanks for the help though! RedWirePlatinum 53 — 5y
