Can you have curse words in scripts?

So i want to make a curse word filter system, is it possible to for example have:

if text == "fuck" then
       text = "####"
end

would this be possible, or would my game get removed?

I don’t see any reason why would you do that,

You can make a curse words-list to detect when player says them and kick them + censor those words, but that’s not efficient.

Roblox does that automatically, dont disable filter chat or else your game [and maybe account] get deleted.

You dont really want to check for TONS of curse words, and that’s absolutely not efficient.

I’m not trying to filter chat, but text boxes.
i have this system where a player fills in a word, but i want them to be unable to use curse words

#4

You still have to use roblox’s censor filter if other players are able to see it.

#5

You can use filterasync and text service to censor those words

#6

how would i put this into a script to make it work?

#7

Here is how I simply implemented that into my admin model -

local filteredContext = game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(arguments[3],player.UserId) 
local filteredString = filteredContext:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
--Now you can use the filteredString as the `safe` string for every string value

where:
arguments[3] is the message
and player.UserId is the ID of the player whom the command is being executed on.

#8

The first argument in the FilterStringAsync is the string you want to filter, the second is the user’s ID.

#9

how do you find the player via a server script, or does this need to be in a local script?

#10

In what reference you want to use this?

#11

i have a text box where players can fill in words, i just want them to be unable to type any curse words

#12

If others are supposed to see their text, use a remote and on the server provide the player’s id

#13

That’s an inappropriate word, you know ?

#14

If we use FilterStringAsync
1234567890 [number] can be filtered. :frowning:

#15

my text box is unable to have letters in it, so this wouldnt be a problem

#16 
		local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
			text = game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(text, plr.UserId)
			text = feedback:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
		end)
#17

feedback would be the text the player has put in, right?

#18

oh I edited :frowning: Sorry
(char limit )

#19

Final script:

local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
			text = game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(text, plr.UserId)
			text = feedback:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
 end)

if success then
-- next code
 else
warn(errorMessage)
end

“feedback” is giving me an error, what is it supposed to be reffering to?
