Chat Settings Not Working

When creating my new game, it uses a newer version of the Roblox chat. Which has been a big improvement.

However, my game also uses custom models. No matter what script I edit, or what I change in the ChatService, it intends on using the default chat settings and ignoring anything I set.

I made a post on this but have found no solutions, I think it may be a studio bug. If not, and I’m doing something wrong, it may be within interest to make it simpler to configure. Chat bubble coming from torso - #6 by Dev_Peashie

Expected behavior

My goal is to make it come out of the Head, instead of the HRP. (I have gone through every chat script in my game and changed the Adornee, none of them work)

Wouldn’t call this a Studio Bug since it’s not related to problems with studio itself. Can you show me how you set up the character in the explorer

It kind of is though, because it seems to be an issue with how studio is setup or textchatservice.

I guess if it won’t effect anything in the gameplay then you can move the humanoid root part to the head and if needed make a custom hitbox. Little puzzling how it’s not working but that should be a temporary fix until a proper explination pops up

It ruins the functionality of character movement if the HRP is not at the center of the model.

I have other custom characters in my game that have only a head, it makes them unable to talk.

Ya. The only other solutions I can think of is restarting Roblox Studio and maybe testing it in the roblox app and constently getting it to print out what the AdorneeName is. Other then that it’s not clear where it’s going wrong and the only temperary fix could break some things.

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.
