Check if Player.Chatted from LocalScript

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

I’m trying to create a LocalScript that checks if someone in the server sends a chat message in the game. This is not possible with game.Players:PlayerAdded, so is there any other method to check if a message is sent in the chat.

(P.S: I’m not trying to use any RemoteEvents or RemoteFunctions)

Thanks.

Why is it not possible with Players.PlayerAdded?

#3

When the player joins there are already players in the game.

You can just loop through all of the current players.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
       --code here
      print(player.Name)
end)

wait(1)
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
     --code here
      print(player.Name)
end

It’s not exacly what I’m trying to achieve, what I’m trying to do is when anyone in the game chats a function gets activated. I’m not sure if it’s possible though…

It is, try this:


local function ONChat()
       print("Player Chatted")
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
       player.Chatted:Connect(OnChat)
      print(player.Name)
end)

wait(1)
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
     player.Chatted:Connect(OnChat)
      print(player.Name)
end

Can’t you just use local player so like:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
--do something
end)

That’s not what I’m trying to do here, I’m trying to make it so that if anyone in the server sends a chat, not just the LocalPlayer.

My code above should work, whenever anyone chats it fires that function. Just put your code inside the function at the top.

It’s a local script, so every client will have it. So that function will run when anyone talks.
