Hello all! Thanks to Roblox and it’s Powering Imagination ™️, the name changing GUI my team used for our game is currently non-functional because of the TextChatService update. Anywho, enough of the complaining. What the GUI did in specific when LegacyChat was still a thing was that it essentially, changed the name/display name of the speaker, allowing us to switch between characters without having to go through loopholes such as creating 30 accounts for every character. Roblox basically eradicated every functional part of the GUI when it came to that, and it feels like we’re all losing our minds trying to fix it, or find a functional GUI to replace it. As an example, here’s what the script USED to do before the update (sorry it’s not a video, I couldn’t recreate it ever since The Incident) The chatter named Adrian is in reality called PUPlL_6.
And this, is what it does today.
We’ve tried a variety of solutions, ranging from using the built in AI Assistant in studio, from ChatGPT, to even searching for replacements for LegacyChatService that still supported TextChatService and also our GUI, but to no avail we have found nothing. As I may have said earlier in this post, it’s been quite a source of frustration for me and the team, as this is a pretty essential part of the game from the admin perspective, and even the community has outright said that it’s not the same without the name changing, and so hopefully this is where you all come in! Below this paragraph, the chat system that used to work is here and hopefully I’d like some pointers in the right direction, or (if i’m lucky enough) someone could just tell me what I need to do to fix it myself :).
Thank you all!!
