Add player name to custom textchatservice ui

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

i would like to add the player’s username to a custom textchatservice ui

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

i would like to learn how to add the player’s username to a custom textchatservice ui to show who sent it.
and honestly, i don’t whow where to start.
i only half understand what happens in the script since roblox doesnt really explain it in their example i followed.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

i have tried looking on the roblox devforum, the roblox documentation hub (sorry if that is not the correct name for it)

i dont know enough of what is happening to be able to think of any solutions other than to ask around

currently i have pretty much copy pasted this (Custom Text Chat UI | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub) roblox example with one minor difference of turning richtext on so the error messages dont turn out like

i used an image because the devforum uses richtext apparently
