Chat tag trouble

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hello all!

So basically I am making an easter event for my game. Basically what I want is this:

On collide egg = chat message “player caught this egg”

I have been experimenting with different ways to use chat tags and watched some videos but never found a way to use it with a collide method.

I know I can use something like this

local plrs = game.Players
 
local sss = game.ServerScriptService
 
local chatService = require(sss:WaitForChild('ChatServiceRunner'):WaitForChild('ChatService'))
 
 
chatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

    local speaker = chatService:GetSpeaker(plr)


	if plrs[plr].UserId == 212371943 then

        speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', Color3.fromRGB(249, 166, 2))
        speaker:SetExtraData('ChatColor', Color3.fromRGB(124, 238, 255))
        speaker:SetExtraData('Tags', {{TagText = 'Developer', TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(33, 250, 250)}})

    end
end)

But I don’t know how to remix it.

Thanks.

First you need to get the default channel by doing ChatService:GetChannel('All')

And send a system message with Channel:SendSystemMessage('content')

How would I get the players name?

If you’re using collisions to detect when a player gets the egg, you can get the player from the character.

Currently I have this messy script


part = script.Parent

local function chat(message)
	game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {Text = message, Colour = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255), Font = Enum.Font.ArialBold})
end

local messages = {"You got the egg of noob #1"} -- Replace Test Message with any text. To add more, put a comma after the " and put another in ""

function onTouch(part) 
	local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
	if (humanoid ~= nil) then	-- if a humanoid exists, then
		chat(messages[math.random(1,#messages)])
	end 
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

It obviously dosen’t work but i am confused as hell.

ChatMakeSystemMessage
Only works on local scripts, if you’re going to use that, you can use remote events or use a server script and implement what @d_hq said.

Update: Still experimenting but I don’t know how to put the puzzle together.

You can change your chat function to making a message with the method that @d_hq mentioned

Yes but I don’t know how I would do that as im quite new to scripting.

local sss = game.ServerScriptService
local Players = game:GetService("Players") 

local chatService = require(sss:WaitForChild('ChatServiceRunner'):WaitForChild('ChatService'))
part = script.Parent

local function chat(message)
	ChatService:GetChannel('All')
    Channel:SendSystemMessage("{System}: "message)
end

local messages = {"You got the egg of noob #1"} -- Replace Test Message with any text. To add more, put a comma after the " and put another in ""

function onTouch(part) 
	local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
	if (humanoid ~= nil) then	-- if a humanoid exists, then
        local Plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
		chat(Plr.Name..", got the egg of noob #1")
	end 
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Try this, it goes in a server script

Unknown global ‘Channel’ (Still confused.)

Expected ‘)’ (to close ‘(’ at column 27) got ‘message’ (Fixed with a comma.)

The script is a child of the part.

you can get the players name by doing

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	local Model = Hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
	if not Model then return end
	local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Model)
	if not Player then return end
	
	-- do stuff with player
end)

end

I jut realized a mistake I made, sorry. This script should work, it gets the player’s name from the character and says the player’s name in the chat and that they got the egg.

in chat function when you’re doing Channel:SendSystemMessage("{System}: "message), you should be doing Channel:SendSystemMessage("{System}: "..message)

and the ontouch function should look something like this

function onTouch(part) 
	local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
	if (humanoid ~= nil) then	-- if a humanoid exists, then
		chat(part.Parent.Name..", got the egg of noob #1") -- or messages[math.random(1,#messages)]
	end 
end
