When an HR presses a button, I want it to announce a shout like saying: “A shift is being hosted!”, how can I do this? I’m quite stuck…
Hey,
I’m not really sure if Roblox has functionality built in to send shout messages to a Roblox group. My assumption is that they have not developed an API for this yet as it is outside of the bounds of game development in most cases. Roblox is a game engine with a majority of the built in services conforming to those patterns.
Now, to answer your questions, how can we achieve this custom logic? Well, the only feasible option would be to develop a web services outside of Roblox to send a request to the Roblox servers to post the group message.
You will need to use developer tools to find the API request that is sent when you create a new group event. This can be done using the network tab when you inspect element. With this request you will need all of the cookies as will allow you to communicate as your Roblox account. You will also need to copy the request payload and alter the message in said payload.
Once this is done you can actually code your web service. Then you can utilize basic HTTP clients in your desired language to communicate with the request payload and cookies that you discovered.
Then once this web services is developed, you can use Roblox HTTP service to send a request from your game to your web service to update the group announcement.
