How do i Align chat text from left to right?
for example:
from:
“Hello Everyone”
to:
“Everyone Hello”
I haven’t looked into this that much, and there may be a more efficient way, but this works for now.
LocalScript in StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts
local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local Chat = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Chat")
Chat.Frame.ChatBarParentFrame.Frame.BoxFrame.Frame.ChatBar.TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Right
Edit: It probably doesn’t work exactly how you like it, but it does:
it did not exactly what i want, but do you know how i cange text order?
from left to right
You could use split to get every word between each space, reverse the returned table (with a new one) then display it.
local str = "Hello World! How are you?"
local temp, words = str:split(" "), {}
local count = 1
for i = #temp, 1, -1 do
words[count] = temp[i]
count += 1
end
print(table.concat(words, " ")) -- you? are How World! Hello
has been credited, tyvm
I would assume in the section of the script where it displays a player’s new message, yeah. I’ve been having issues running studio so I can’t check atm.
where do i put it? in the LocalScript in StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts?
Put in StarterGui…
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(str)
local temp, words = str:split(" "), {}
local count = 1
for i = #temp, 1, -1 do
words[count] = temp[i]
count += 1
end
print(table.concat(words, " "))
end)
You can connect it to the player chatted event, and it will work like that.
Note: This will not work in chat, when you’re typing, unless you edit the chat scripts based on the above script. I think you can probably make the message display, in the chat box (in your wanted order), after you chat, but not when you’re typing. You can make it display in your wanted order, when you’re in typing mode, but not like when you’re typing. It will be kinda “glitchy”, but it will still work.
“print(table.concat(words, " "))”
what do i need to put here to make the text will display on the chat?
Press the Play button in studio and go to the Chat instance and select all, and then copy, stop running, and paste into the Chat instance.
After you’ve done that, go into Chat > ChatServiceRunner and replace it with:

There is a copy button at the top right, so you don’t have to scroll down all the way to select.
If you ever want to reset it, do the same thing as I told you before, after deleting everything in the Chat instance.
Note: @TheeDeathCaster Wrote the reverse script, I just combined it with the above script.
