Where is the LocalScript Located?

LocalScripts only work in specific Environments, make sure thats in the correct one.

#3

tried startergui and starterplayerscripts

#4

because print needs to be formatted “print()” and not “print”

#5

Do you mind showing a Video?

I’m not sure but can you check what ChatVersion you are using, make sure its on TextChatService, and not LegacyChatService

Its located in TextChatService in the Explorer.

Both work, Nothing wrong with it.

#6

both work also print() didnt do anything

#7

ah, I didn’t know that, interesting

#8

what exactly is your goal with this script?

#9

isnt it supposed to be

TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage:Connect(function(variableForChatMessage)
print("ok")
end)

hope this helps!

#10

OnIncomingMessage isn’t a Event, its a callback

#11

ah okay one second, just going to look at it in studio

#12

i’m pretty sure you did the function wrong?

local TextChatService = ame:GetService('TextChatService')
TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage:Connect(function(message: TextChatMessage)
print("ok")
end

the script runs and all, but doesnt work

#15

ok so now i found out it works in new games, probably the new chat system is the requirement

#16

Because you are using LegacyChatService, Switch it to TextChatService, and that should fix the Issue
