Custom chat function not working?
Hi, I'm currently testing a prototype for a custom chat using a text box, scripts and a text label. It doesn't display a error, but when I press enter, the script doesn't work and the text doesn't appear. I am currently on my MacBook, so I can't show any gifs but here's the scripts.
LocalScript:
01 | local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
02 |
03 | userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) |
04 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return then |
05 | if script.Parent.TextBox.Text == "" then |
06 | else |
07 | local text = script.Parent.TextBox.Text |
08 | game.ReplicatedStorage.chatFunction:FireServer(text) |
09 | script.Parent.TextBox.Text = "" |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
Script:
01 | local function Chat(text) |
02 | local CloneText = script.Parent.TextLabel:Clone() |
03 | CloneText.Visible = true |
04 | CloneText.Text = text |
05 | if CloneText ~= nil then |
06 | if CloneText.Position == UDim2.new(0.1, 0, 0.65, 0) then |
07 | CloneText.Position = CloneText.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0) |
08 | else |
09 | CloneText.Position = UDim2.new(0.1, 0, 0.65, 0) |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 |
14 | game.ReplicatedStorage.chatFunction.OnServerEvent(Chat) |

sry for bad english
Try this out : (Maybe you need to edit it)
--Server Script:
01 | game.ReplicatedStorage.chatFunction.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,text) |
02 | local CloneText = script.Parent.TextLabel:Clone() |
03 | CloneText.Visible = true |
04 | CloneText.Text = text |
05 | if CloneText ~= nil then |
06 | if CloneText.Position == UDim2.new(0.1, 0, 0.65, 0) then |
07 | CloneText.Position = CloneText.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0) |
08 | else |
09 | CloneText.Position = UDim2.new(0.1, 0, 0.65, 0) |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
the functions connected to OnServerEvent will be passed the player who fired the event as the first parameter.

what happens when you add this after line 1 : print(text) itz_rennox 412 — 5y

That will literally just print the text in the output. It won't do anything to the chatting function. And I already fixed it so. harstud 218 — 5y
