EVERYTHING WORKED BEFORE ADDING THE TEXT FILTERING IN.

#2

filtertextasync returns a filter result instance. Read the docs :100:

#3

ok how would i get the text that is filtered. sorry i am new lol

#4

could you quickly go into a team test or in game and see if it works? I’m too lazy to read lmao (jk)

According to the documentation, you have done it correctly. I’m not quite sure what could be erroring here.

#5

ill give u a file. please use for the good.

it might take a while… there is a lot of UI things going on here that I have to spoof

#10

fr just let me send u a file. ill message u

#11

I just sent it to you! No spoofing needed.

#12

I mean thanks…?

please don’t do this regularly

#13

You did spell ‘filteredText’ wrong, but that doesn’t really affect the script since you spelt it wrong in all areas of the script.

Also, the variable print(errorMessage) should be errorMessage2 after the second filtering function. Just a little typo you made there assuming since you just copied and pasted from the previous.

None of these issues should affect the functionality of the script, but to confirm, you’re getting no errors? If you aren’t, you should try testing this in-game as STUDIO DOES NOT FILTER TEXT in play test mode.

ALSO. You aren’t sending any variables when you fire the client from the server, but on the client side I can see there are required variables?

Use game:GetService(“Chat”) instead of TextService. The reason being that Chat’s “FilterStringAsync” function will return the filtered string immediately instead of an instance like how TextService’s function works.

I figured it out. TYSM! I really appreciate it.
