How do you hide chat messages on the server

I’m making a commands module where everything is fully server-sided (because of hackers/exploiters obviously)

I want to make a system where when you send a command, it hides the message

I have a player.Chatted base because that’s the only reliable server connection in this case

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
        local message = msg:split(" ")
        local commandWithPrefix = message[1]
        local usedPrefix
        for _, v in Prefixes do
            if commandWithPrefix:sub(1, 1) == v then
                usedPrefix = v
                break
            end
        end
        if not usedPrefix then return end
        local command = string.lower(commandWithPrefix:split(usedPrefix)[2])
        local foundCommand
        for customCommand, _ in CustomCommands do
            if customCommand:lower() ~= command then continue end
            foundCommand = CustomCommands[customCommand].Function
            break
        end
        for currentCommand, _ in getCommands() do
            if currentCommand:lower() ~= command then continue end
            foundCommand = getCommands()[currentCommand]
            break
        end
        if not foundCommand then return end
        local args = message
        table.remove(args, 1)
        foundCommand(player, args, msg)
    end)
end)

This might give you an idea if I understood what you want to do.

#3

I don’t understand how this works but I’ve found something that might work.

I’ve found this at OnServerReceivingMessage but what does it mean by the ‘Message’ object

#4

Probably callback function’s parameter. I’m not home right now but a quick test should show it.

#5

I’ve tried printing it and it printed nothing, absolutely nothing, no errors

I’ve further tested it and found it gets passed by Chat:InvokeChatCallback()

local chat = game:GetService("Chat")

chat:RegisterChatCallback(17, function(message)
    print(message) --> "hello"
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message) --> lets pretend message is "hello"
        chat:InvokeChatCallback(17, message)
    end)
end)

Can anyone else help me? I know how to filter messages with server-client communication. Though, I want to keep the module safe to use with no exploit threats.

Edit: Updated Information:

Using this code:

local shouldHideMessage = false
game.Chat:RegisterChatCallback("OnServerReceivingMessage", function(message)
    task.wait()
    return shouldHideMessage
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
        if Random.new():NextInteger(1, 2) == 1 then --give 50/50 chance of appearing the message lol
            shouldHideMessage = true
        else
            shouldHideMessage = false
        end
    end)
end)

Works great for LegacyChatService.
However, I still want to make it compatible with TextChatService and not just LegacyChatService.

well uh according to my knowledge

roblox didnt add Event on server to recieve messages (at least i tried connecting to events like .MessageRecieved on server but no hope it wasnt fired at all)

If it was that simple, this post wouldn’t even exist.
