i want to know how to make a hint appear when someone says something. for example:

archmantella13: $hint Hello

and then a hint saying archmantella13: Hello appears. Here is what i have:

1if string.sub(string.lower(msg),1,2) == "h/" then
2text(speaker.Name .. ": " .. string.sub(msg,3),2,"Hint",game.Workspace)
3end

Your current code is pretty much perfect! Just make sure that the user prefixes their message with "$hint" and then make the hint thebayou 441 — 5y

We'd need to see what the text function is. Assuming this is from an admin script from Free Models, just change "h/" to "$hint" and 1,2 to 1,5 and msg,3 to msg,6 Shawnyg 4330 — 5y

All you'd need to do is change "h/" to whatever you want to do for it to work.

Put the following code in a ModuleScript inside of a Folder called "ChatModules" parented to Chat (do all of this pre-runtime). Inside of ChatModules, also have a BoolValue called "InsertDefaulModules" set to true.

01local idsOfAdmins = {128498925, -1, 0, game.CreatorId} -- put the id of people you want to be admin
02local currentHint
03local hintDisplayed = false
04local gui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
05gui.Name = "HintGui"
06local hint = Instance.new("TextLabel")
07hint.Name = "Hint"
08hint.Visible = false
09hint.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,25)
10-- Don't change position
11hint.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new()
12hint.BorderSizePixel = 0

14hint.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
15hint.TextScaled = true

23        local newMessage = textResult:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
24        return newMessage

26    local function hintCommand(speakerName, message, channelName)
