You can use the Speaker:SayMessage(ToSay, Channel) function of In-Experience Text Chat | Roblox Creator Documentation

It works but will it have bubble chat if I enable bubble chat on the game itself?

#11

Yes, it will add bubble chat, if you do that.

#12

yes, the model that Cramp sent it’s a ultimate force chat or something, although, it works with both chats (classic chat, bluble chat)

check it out

Hey, sorry to disturb but how can I get the player that clicked chat instead of them typing their user in? I’m currently half awake, so I don’t know if I can read through the script.

If player says "Random" he says random stuff

local ui = ui -- put the ui path here
local player = player -- puth the path of the player here
local chatservice = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild("ChatService")

ui.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name)  -- put the desired player here
    speaker:SayMessage("hello", "All", {})
end)

make the player var as the starter gui parent, cuz the starter guis the "PlayerGui" and its parents the player.

Wait, what? Sorry still sleepy and I’m confused

#17

the player variable must be the starter gui parent because it is the player gui parent’s when you play the game

#18

Thanks. It works, have a good night/day!

Scripts does not belong in StarterGui, nor the PlayerGui.
UI-related things should be handled by the client (localscript).

Here’s what you should do instead:

  1. Add a RemoteEvent.
  2. Use RemoteEvent:FireServer() from the localscript.
  3. Force the player to speak with RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent.

More information can be found here: RemoteEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation
