Enabling/Disabling an Screen GUI by saying a certain thing inside of the chat

[v1uxz]

I want to add an custom command inside of my game and make it so if they say “;openpanel” than the GUI would be enabled and by saying “;closepanel” than it would be disabled. How would I go about doing this, I’ve tried to do it but it did not work.

localscript parented to the screengui

local UI = script.Parent 

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Chatted:Connect(function(Str)
    if (Str == ";openpanel") then 
        UI.Enabled = true 
    elseif (Str == ";closepanel") then 
        UI.Enabled = false 
    end
end)

Thanks I will try that right now and let you know if it works.

It didn’t work, I don’t know why.

I really need to figure out how to do this, if you can help please reply to my post.

Player.Chatted does not work with TextChatService, which may be the reason why it isn’t working. If that’s the case you should use TextChatService.SendingMessage instead:

local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local UI = script.Parent 

TextChatService.SendingMessage:Connect(function(TextChatMessage)
	local Str = TextChatMessage.Text
	
	if (Str == ";openpanel") then 
		UI.Enabled = true 
	elseif (Str == ";closepanel") then 
		UI.Enabled = false 
	end
end)

You can also use TextChatCommand for this.
