Trying to filter text

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

First of all i’m just gonna say that I am not too experienced in scripting.

I am making a roleplay name system that I obvoiously want to get filtered. I followed the roblox documentation tutorial and this is the server script that I wrote: (only showing required part of script)

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("NameChangeEvent").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, text)
	local filteredtext = ""
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		local filteredtextresult = textservice:FilterStringAsync(text, Player.UserId)
	end)
	
	print(tostring(Player))
	print(text)
	Player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("NameTag").Display.Text = text
	
	if not success then
		warn("Error filtering text: ", text, ": ", errormessage)
		Player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("NameTag").Display.Text = "error :/"
	end
end)

Any help appreciated. (I am not familiar with filtering text)

Player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("NameTag").Display.Text = text

This line just sets the display text to the ‘text’ argument instead do

Player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("NameTag").Display.Text = filteredtext

This now sets the name tag to the filteredText
