game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local tags = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
	tags.Name = "Tags"
	if plr.Name == "SelectedArctic" then
		local newTag = Instance.new("IntValue",tags)

		local chatColor = Instance.new("Color3Value",newTag)
		chatColor.Name = "ChatColor"
		chatColor.Value = BrickColor.new("New Yeller").Color

		tagColor.Name = "tagColor"
		tagColor.Value = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
	end
end)

Not working plus with all the chat modules inside “Chat”, not sure if i did something wrong?

This is clearly not your issue. It’d be helpful if you provided more information, such as if your console is throwing errors. I suspect you’re using another system to facilitate addition of chat tags based on this setup; if you could provide that as well, that’d help a lot.

On another note, avoid using the parent property when instancing new objects.

I think I found the YouTube tutorial that you got this script from. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that the tutorial was this one: https://youtube.com/watch?v=RA745HfDc-0&feature=youtu.be
In that tutorial, it said that there was a certain free model you had to get that included the edited chat modules.

Random, just dont download free models! as they can contain viruses to slow down your game.

Free models can contain “viruses” in them but if you got basic lua knowledge you should be fine. With removal of private modules viruses can’t be hidden anymore.

Yes thats the video i watched and did the script but didn’t work i didn’t use the FM because it gave me something different so i did it on my own still not working though.

You could always use ChatSpeaker:SetExtraData() for the tags instead.

Here is the module I use for custom chat tags:

local players = { -- the key inside the brackets is the UserId
	[87763225] = {title = '[Owner]', priority = 5, color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 255), color0 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)}, -- color0 is the secondary color
    [88754233] = {title = '[Scripter]', priority = 4, color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 127), color0 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 127)},
}

local saves = {}

function sendInfo(player)
	
	local info = saves[player.UserId] 
	if not info then
		local priority = 0
		for key, value in pairs(players) do
			if player.UserId == key and value.priority > priority then
				info = {title = value.title, color = value.color, color0 = value.color0}
				priority = value.priority
			end
		end	

		if info == nil then
			info = "placeholder"
		end	
	
		saves[player.UserId] = info 
		return info
	else
		return info
	end
end

return sendInfo

And here is an example of how it should be set up:

Here is a model:

If you need help changing the color, UserID, and string to your specific use case, just send a reply.
