Individual Bubble Chat Configuration

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
,
#1

I want to make an actor system, in which people can choose from different entities to play as. Some of these entities require unique chat bubbles to fit their asthetic(colors, fonts, etc), but with the new roblox textchatservice, I can’t seem to find out how to do it.

I tried using the older chat service, but something seemingly broke about game.Chat:SetBubbleChatSettings()

Can anyone help?

It looks like you cannot make people have their own individual chat bubbles that they can configure for every player without making your own implementation, however, I am willing to help you with making a Bubble Chat system that players can customize. Here is a basic implementation on how you can do it.

Please be sure to put this script in ServerScriptService:

local experience = game
local Chat = experience:GetService("Chat")

local function UpdateBubble(TextBubble, BubbleSettings)
	TextBubble.BackgroundColor3 = BubbleSettings.BackgroundColor
	TextBubble.Font = BubbleSettings.Font
end

experience:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local BubbleChatBillboard = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
	
	local TextBubble = Instance.new("TextLabel")
	TextBubble.Text = ""
	TextBubble.Visible = false
	TextBubble.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
	TextBubble.Parent = BubbleChatBillboard
	
	BubbleChatBillboard.Parent = Player
	
	-- Assuming you are using an attribute for the Settings inside the Player
	Player.ChatBubbleSettings.AttributeChanged:Connect(function()
		UpdateBubble(TextBubble, Player.ChatBubbleSettings:GetAttributes())
	end)
	UpdateBubble(TextBubble, Player.ChatBubbleSettings:GetAttributes())
		
	
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
		local Success, Error = pcall(function()
			local FilteredMessage = Chat:FilterStringForBroadcast(Message, Player)
			TextBubble.Text = FilteredMessage
			TextBubble.Visible = true
			task.delay(10, function()
				TextBubble.Visible = false
			end)
		end)
	end)
end)
