Webhook isn't working at all, no errors appearing in console?

Asked 208 views1 answers

Basically, I'm trying to make a webhook that will send all messages being sent in my roblox game to a channel in my discord server

(you may think this would be API abuse but I don't plan to have any more than 10 people in the game at once)

I think the problem could be the variables, but I'm not entirely sure, I'm a bit of a noobie with API.

**The code: **

game.Players:FindFirstChild().Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	local text = msg
	local user = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Data = {
	["content"] = "`"..text.."`",
	["username"] = user,
}

Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)

http:PostAsync("*webhook link redacted.*", Data) 
end)

I'm not familiar with discord's API, but are you certain that they use JSON and not some other format?

To me, that code looks fine, my guess is something on the other end is wrong.

Ok, well in the [REDACTED] webhook link, do they give you a custom webhook link or is it some generic one with a key they give you?

There was nothing wrong with any of the http stuff, just a simple mistake with finding the first player, and also no getting a LocalPlayer from a server script:

game.Players.ChildAdded:Wait()
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChildOfClass("Player")
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
    local text = msg
    local user = player.Name
	local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
	local Data = {
    	["content"] = "`"..text.."`",
    	["username"] = user,
	}
	Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)
	http:PostAsync("", Data) --Put the link you saved between the two quotes.
end)
