A Way to fire player.Chatted Event?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello Developers,

I am making at the moment a custom chat. Since I want the custom chat to work with admin made by other users, I want to know if there is a method to fire the player.Chatted Event.

Thanks for reading!

I do not know if there is a way to make a specific player chat. I know there is a way to send system messages, but maybe this article can be of assistance: Customizing In-Experience Text Chat | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

You could always hook into the remote events created by the chat system, such as, SayMessageRequest which is fired by the client and contains the message and the recipient of the message before filtering. It can be found at runtime in ReplicatedStorage.DefaultChatSystemChatEvents

Using that remote event doesn’t trigger the player.Chatted event. Although if you go into the Chat there’s a script called the “ChatServiceRunner” inside there is a module script called “ChatService”.

The :GetSpeaker(plrObj) function will allow you to get the speaker
If you were to do something like: ChatService:GetSpeaker(player):SayMessage(msg, "All", nil) then I believe it will trigger the player.Chatted event.

It probably won’t work exactly the way I explained it above, you may need to edit the ChatServiceRunner script.
