Channel Tabs & UI Gradient Now Available in TextChatService

[WillyEdison]

How is everyone else setting up their channel tabs? I have created a TextChannel and enabled the ChannelTabsConfiguration, yet I cannot get a new tab to be created. I have tried moving the channel into the default folder TextChannels, but that didn’t work. Is there another step to set up a new tab?

We require the following two features to be added in order to move our game over to TextChatService by the deadline:

Unable to Turn Off Emoji Autocomplete Seperatly

Currently we are attempting to switch our Admin Commands game over to TextChatService however we are running into a problem as we would like to have auto complete for our commands, but they rely on the ‘:’ prefix as this is standard, and as such they conflict with Emoji autocomplete. I’m asking for Emoji Autocomplete and Command Autocomplete to be split into seperate properties instead of one single “AutoCompleteEnabled”.

Unable to Seperate Chat Text Color from Bubble Text

In our game we modify chat message color to a yellow color for specific users, however this also changes the text bubble color. Maybe we’re not doing text color correctly, however this is ugly and it should be possible to have different colors for them both.

Please add both (they are incredibly easy fixes that will take maybe an hour), otherwise we will be unable to switch.

You need to use TextChannel:AddUserAsync() to add users to the channel via Script (onPlayerAdded for example)

That worked, thank you! So in order to set up channel tabs, we need to code adding a channel for that player. Does that also mean you can remove channels in a similar fashion? (This would be useful for a team chat tab that disappears after a team game ends).
