Silencing (muting) an player

v1uxz · July 21, 2023, 3:11pm

How would I make it so this script only works if the text inside of the TextBox is equal to the player’s name?

local Players = game.Players
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ModerationPanel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local UsernameBox = ModerationPanel.Username
local Button = script.Parent
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local SilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("SilencePlayer")
local NotifyPlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("NotifyPlayer")

local Group = 13791384
local AllowedRank = 15

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(Group) >= AllowedRank then
		Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			SilencePlayer:FireClient()
			NotifyPlayer:FireClient(Player, "Panel", "The player has been muted.")
		end)
	end
end)

Just check the text on the button.

local Players = game.Players
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ModerationPanel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local UsernameBox = ModerationPanel.Username
local Button = script.Parent
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local SilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("SilencePlayer")
local NotifyPlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("NotifyPlayer")

local Group = 13791384
local AllowedRank = 15

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(Group) >= AllowedRank then
		Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			if Player.Name ~= Button.Text then
				return
			end
			
			SilencePlayer:FireClient()
			NotifyPlayer:FireClient(Player, "Panel", "The player has been muted.")
		end)
	end
end)

I tried your script but it did not work.

Katrist · July 21, 2023, 3:25pm

Oh wait, I put the wrong button, try this:

local Players = game.Players
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ModerationPanel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local UsernameBox = ModerationPanel.Username
local Button = script.Parent
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local SilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("SilencePlayer")
local NotifyPlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("NotifyPlayer")

local Group = 13791384
local AllowedRank = 15

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(Group) >= AllowedRank then
		Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			if Player.Name ~= UsernameBox.Text then
				return
			end

			SilencePlayer:FireClient()
			NotifyPlayer:FireClient(Player, "Panel", "The player has been muted.")
		end)
	end
end)

I’ve tried that as well, does it have anything to do with this?

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local Panel = StarterGui.Panel
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local SilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("SilencePlayer")
local UnsilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("UnsilencePlayer")
local NotifyPlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("NotifyPlayer")
local Reason = Panel.UI.ModerationPanel.SilenceReason

local function ChatEnabled(Enabled)
	StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, Enabled)
end

local function Notification(Title, Text)
	StarterGui:SetCore("SendNotification", {
		Title = Title,
		Text = Text
	})
end

SilencePlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	Notification("Muted", "You have been silenced by an staff member for"..Reason.Text..". You can no longer communicate with others inside the chat.")
	ChatEnabled(false)
end)

UnsilencePlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	Notification("Un-muted", "You have been un-silenced, you can now communicate with others within the chat.")
	ChatEnabled(true)
end)

NotifyPlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Title, Message)
	Notification(Title, Message)
end)

The script above is inside of a LocalScript and the other one is inside of a ServerScript.

@Katrist So is anything inside of that causing the script not to work?

Katrist · July 21, 2023, 3:41pm

That script seems alright, it’s just the way you’re handling the UI functions.

Usually you would have a remote event, and on the client, when the button is pressed, you would fire that to the server and handle it there. Yours however is different, because you just connected the function on the server which may cause bugs later down the line. I’ll try to fix it though.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ModerationPanel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local UsernameBox = ModerationPanel.Username
local Button = script.Parent
local LocalPlayer = Button:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player")
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local SilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("SilencePlayer")
local NotifyPlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("NotifyPlayer")

local Group = 13791384
local AllowedRank = 15

if LocalPlayer:GetRankInGroup(Group) >= AllowedRank then
	Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
		local playerFound = Players:FindFirstChild(UsernameBox.Text)
		
		if not playerFound then
			return
		end
		
		SilencePlayer:FireClient(playerFound)
		NotifyPlayer:FireClient(playerFound, "Panel", "The player has been muted.")
	end)
end

Well I used this tutorial and just edited things.

How to make an Mute Command

Also the script didn’t work again.

Katrist · July 21, 2023, 4:00pm

Yea, that’s the problem. In the video, he’s making a mute command based on an event that is already sent to the server. You however are connecting something that’s supposed to be on the client, to the server which causes a lot of problems. Try to change that mute button into a remote event and see if it works.

v1uxz · July 21, 2023, 4:01pm

How would I do that though that’s the thing.

Katrist · July 21, 2023, 4:02pm

Show me your explorer.

v1uxz · July 21, 2023, 4:07pm

Okay here is the images.

Katrist · July 21, 2023, 4:19pm

Switch that script under Silence into a LocalScript, and paste this inside:

--//Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Variables
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local RequestSilence = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("RequestSilence")
local Button = script.Parent
local ModerationPanel = Button.Parent.Parent
local UsernameBox = ModerationPanel.Username

--//Functions
Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	RequestSilence:FireServer(UsernameBox.Text)
end)

Add a script in ServerScriptService and paste this inside:

--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Variables
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local RequestSilence = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("RequestSilence")
local SilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("SilencePlayer")
local NotifyPlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("NotifyPlayer")

--//Controls
local Group = 13791384
local AllowedRank = 15

--//Functions
RequestSilence.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, playerNameToSilence)
	if not playerNameToSilence or type(playerNameToSilence) ~= "string" or player:GetRankInGroup(Group) < AllowedRank then
		return
	end
	
	local playerToSilence = Players:FindFirstChild(playerNameToSilence)
	
	if not playerToSilence then
		return
	end
	
	SilencePlayer:FireClient(playerToSilence)
	NotifyPlayer:FireClient(player, "Panel", "The player has been muted.")
end)

v1uxz · July 21, 2023, 4:21pm

Do I add an RemoteEvent named RequestSilence or?

Katrist · July 21, 2023, 4:22pm

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that. Add it into SilenceManager folder in ReplicatedStorage.

v1uxz · July 21, 2023, 4:23pm

Okay, I will go ahead and try the script now.

v1uxz · July 21, 2023, 4:27pm

It didn’t work, do you think it has something to do with “player” and “playerNameToSilence”?

v1uxz · July 21, 2023, 4:29pm

Wait what about this script, it’s a LocalScript inside of StarterGUI.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local Panel = StarterGui.Panel
local SilenceManager = ReplicatedStorage.SilenceManager
local SilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("SilencePlayer")
local UnsilencePlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("UnsilencePlayer")
local NotifyPlayer = SilenceManager:WaitForChild("NotifyPlayer")
local Reason = Panel.UI.ModerationPanel.SilenceReason

local function ChatEnabled(Enabled)
	StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, Enabled)
end

local function Notification(Title, Text)
	StarterGui:SetCore("SendNotification", {
		Title = Title,
		Text = Text
	})
end

SilencePlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	Notification("Muted", "You have been silenced by an staff member for"..Reason.Text..". You can no longer communicate with others inside the chat.")
	ChatEnabled(false)
end)

UnsilencePlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	Notification("Un-muted", "You have been un-silenced, you can now communicate with others within the chat.")
	ChatEnabled(true)
end)

NotifyPlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Title, Message)
	Notification(Title, Message)
end)

Could you show your explorer again?
