You woud probably have to use the Chatted event to get when the player chats.

In that event, you would have to use string manipulation to get the “join/” part of the command.

You would then take the rest and check if it matches a team name, and if it does, you would switch the player into the team.

Creating a team changer system like the one you mentioned in Roblox involves a combination of scripting, UI design, and handling player input. Here’s a general outline of how you can approach building a similar system:

  1. Chat Command Parsing: Listen to player chat messages and parse them to identify team change commands. When a player types “Join/[TEAM]”, extract the team name from the message.
  2. Team Management: Use Roblox’s Team service to manage teams. Create teams in your game (e.g., Red, Blue, OPFOR) and assign players to the respective teams.
  3. Chat Command Handling: In your script, when a player sends a chat message like “Join/Red” or “Join/OPFOR”, parse the message to get the desired team name and use the TeamService to move the player to that team.
  4. UI Feedback: Provide feedback to the player through chat or UI that their team change request was successful.

Here’s a simple example of how you might implement this:

luaCopy code

local TeamService = game:GetService("Teams")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
        local command, teamName = string.match(message, "^(Join)/(%w+)$")
        if command and teamName then
            local team = TeamService:FindFirstChild(teamName)
            if team then
                team:AddPlayer(player)
                -- Provide feedback to the player
                player:Chat("You've joined the " .. teamName .. " team!")
            end
        end
    end)
end)

Please note that this is a simple example and may require additional error handling and UI enhancements to match the user experience you’re aiming for.

For UI, you can design a custom GUI element or use existing UI frameworks to create buttons that players can click to join teams. When a player clicks a team button, the appropriate team command can be sent to the chat.

Remember that creating a smooth and user-friendly team changing system may involve more complex scripting and UI design to ensure that players understand the process and receive proper feedback.
