Detect Chat History Loaded?

[MightyDantheman (Fate)]

So I was trying to write a custom chat formatting script and was met with a bit of an issue regarding the chat history. I noticed that when a new message is added to the frame, the text isn’t always what was actually chatted. It would have a series of “blank” characters before an underscore, or just be empty. Is there a way to detect when a message has actually loaded?

I’m going to assume it would be better to actually edit Roblox’s chat script instead of trying to modify text after the fact. It’s just that Roblox’s chat system seemed a tad complicated with how much code is involved.

Chats saying _____

The new chat purposely shows _______ instead of a message as that message is being filtered. The issue here is probably that the FilterStringAsync calls were failing due to a web issue at the time. With the old chat, messages would just be silently getting dropped when this happens.

You might need to fork around the Chat Module Scripts a bit, preferably when FilterStringAsync is called to detect the message sent

Do you happen to know which script would be the correct one? I’ve tried modifying ChatServiceRunner.ChatService, at each point where it it supposedly returns filtered text, but that didn’t seem to do anything at all.
