ChatMakeSystemMessage not sending any message?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

the title says all, SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage") isn’t working, idk if it is deprecated or something, but i’m using this:

td.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player,roundTime)
	game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{
	Text = "[Server]: "..player.." ended the figure at "..roundTime.." Seconds!",
	Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 0),
	Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold,
	TextSize = 18
	})
end)

thanks to anyone who replies :DD

forgot to mention that the remote event on serverside fires to all the clients

i’ve seen other posts that use this method and they work

Could you send the message on the server instead? You can use uh… i think they’re called Bindable Functions/Events. Lemme check

Edit: yes they are

yeah, but as i know, you can’t manipulate GUI’s from server-side

Just send the message on the server then do whatever you need to do with GUI on the cleint

are you sure the event is firing. try printing something inside the function see if it prints to let you know that the event is firing

but this is kinda useless right? since i’m already getting the info from the server with the remote event
sending the info to another server side script with bindable events wouldn’t make any difference i think

are there any errors in the output?

(edit) do you mind providing the server script

wow that’s weird, when i try it on my game it doesn’t work, as i know the server does send the message since i already checked with a print, so it could be the client that isnt receiving the event

#15

i’m just using player since on server-side i send the name of the player, and not the player itself.
i tried changing it anyways and it just threw an error

is round time a string or is it an object
perhaps roundTime.Value or roundTime.Name

also have you corrected the player to player.Name

the player on my script is basically the name of the player, so it doesn’t need to be player.Name, and roundNumber is basically just a number, ill try using tostring() to see if this fixes anything

#18

you just needa make sure its strings getting put into that string thats your only error one or both of them arent strings

yup, that was the problem, roundNumber specifically.
when i used tostring(roundNumber) the chat sended the message, and it printed the name of the instance, not the actual number

thanks for the help man really appreciate it
