Chatcolor and tags script

Help and Feedback Code Review

Hello
I got this working Chat Rank script.
basically it changes the chat color, changes name color, and adds a “rank”.

Is this script 100% assured that it works for me and me only?

thanks in advance.

local sss = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local chatservice = require(sss:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild("ChatService"))
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local owner = {'Mercyvr'}

local DefaultTags = {
	{TagText = "Owner", TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(255,215,0)}, --1st tag
}

chatservice.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(plrname)
	local speaker = chatservice:GetSpeaker(plrname)
	for _, v in pairs(owner) do
		if players[plrname].Name == v then
			speaker:SetExtraData("Tags", DefaultTags)
			speaker:SetExtraData("NameColor", Color3.fromRGB(255, 155, 0))
			speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 255))
		end
	end
end)

Yes it should do as every time a player speaks your function grabs that player and in your loop, it will verify if the player is in the owner table or not.

I recommend checking for the player’s user id instead of the player’s name

Especially if the user in question changes their username, if the ID is used nothing will be lost if this happens.

You don’t need to loop through the Players service to get a player. ChatSpeaker provides GetPlayer if you need to get the player object associated with a ChatSpeaker assuming it’s a player speaker.

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local ChatService = require(ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)

-- Don't need a table if it's just for yourself. Use game.CreatorId if it's
-- a place on your profile or your own id if not.
local OWNER_ID = 204410354

local DEFAULT_TAGS = {
    -- Your tag here, not rewriting it.
}

local function speakerAdded(speakerName)
    local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(speakerName)
    local player = speaker:GetPlayer()

    if player and player.UserId == OWNER_ID then
        -- SetExtraData calls here
    end
end

-- You need this to resolve race conditions
ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(speakerAdded)
for _, speaker in ipairs(ChatService:GetSpeakerList()) do
    speakerAdded(speaker)
end
