Help GUI that sends a message through the player

I’m trying to make a GUI that when clicked sends a message in chat for the player.

For example if I put a button with an emoji and one clicks it I want in the chat to be: [ironboy1965]::grinning:
But I want it to be instant at the click of the button without having to hit enter.

I trying using system messages but I cant get to write the name of the player like in a normal chat. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to use for this and there is little to no documentation from Roblox.

What have you tried so far? Some code? What the button looks like? Please provide a some more detail

 --Variables
local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Button = script.Parent.TextButton


--Functions
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    Chat:Chat(Char:WaitForChild("Head"),"Thank you")
    game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{
        Text = "{System}Thank you "..Player.Name.." for clicking on the button1";
    })
end)

Do you understand what the script does? Please read this documentation:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Chat

I guess you got your script off youtube, which isn’t a problem, but first you should understand how it works, and only then use it.
Your script will look like this:

--Variables
local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Button = script.Parent.TextButton


--Functions
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    Chat:Chat(Char:WaitForChild("Head"),"Thank you")
    game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{
        Text = "["..Player.Name.."]: ABC"; --change ABC to the text you want the player to send
    })
end)

Also, this is a LocalScript, so only you will see the message. Change it to a ServerScript if you want every player to see it

I tried to make it server but it gives to me this error and the message didn’t appear on the chat but only on the bubble:

StarterGui:SetCore must be called from a local script. - Studio

 local Button = script.Parent
local Event = Button.RemoteEvent

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    Event:FireServer("Test")
end)

 --Variables
local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")
local Event = script.Parent.RemoteEvent

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(x, argument)
    local Char = x.Character
    if argument == "Test" then
        Chat:Chat(Char:WaitForChild("Head"),"👮")
        game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{
            Text = "["..x.Name.."]: ABC"; --change ABC to the text you want the player to send
        })
    end
end)

Yes, the SetCore has to be in a LocalScript, but the Chat:Chat has to be in a ServerScript. You can use a remote event to do this, please watch a tutorial about them, and here’s the official documentation:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/events/bindable-events-and-functions

yes I know how Remote functions work, but I don’t know what I have to do with the Chat:Chat, cause I never worked with the Chat Service

#9

Its going to be the same. So you will have the event handler something like this:

local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")

... function(player)

local char = player.Character -- you can also just pass the character as an argument, it might be easier
Chat:Chat(char:WaitForChild("Head"),"👮")

end)

I never worked with the chat service either, but it should work
