Help with changing the chat color when a player types a command

hypnoticrunner12 · February 6, 2022, 4:26pm

I’m sort of new to scripting and I wanted to make the chat change to a purple-ish color when they type “(( /me {what player types} ))”.

and how would the chat know which body part the player was damaged at and ‘types’ it in?
Ex: “[!] you have been damaged in your lower torso and need to seek medical attention”

Thank you in advance and sorry if asking too much I am slowly understanding how to script.

Here is a solution to what you want above the picture.

–Server script (ServerScriptService)

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

local function ChangeChatColor(player)
	local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name) 
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color3.new(0.764706, 0.431373, 1)) --change color your custom
	task.wait()
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color3.new(1, 1, 1)) --change color back
end


RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(ChangeChatColor)

–LocalScript (StarterGui)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) --registers when a player writes something
	local values = msg:split(" ") --split msg into 2 parts
	if values[1] == "/me" then --if 1 part msg = "/me" then 
		RemoteEvent:FireServer() --send server player name (I use a server for everyone to see(change color))
	end
end)

Does that mean it splits between the players name and what they said?

hypnoticrunner12 · February 6, 2022, 6:48pm

this is what I’m trying to replicate like the whole thing is one color

(Without the numbers)
basically, there [Roblox name] says:

It mean, the message is divided into pieces according to where the gap is located.
EXAMPLE:
message: “hi my name is autumn” →
message[1] = hi
message[2] = my
message[3] = name
message[4] = is
message[5] = autumn

then I use message[1] to know if it equals = “/me”

But how would the text all be the same color? including the player’s name

CharranCZ · February 6, 2022, 7:20pm

using this:

local Color = Color3.new(0.764706, 0.431373, 1)
speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', Color) --change name
speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color) --change text

thanks but can i edit this for other chat commands like /do and etc sorry again for all the questions

here is a bug though

Server script

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

local function ChangeChatColor(player)
	local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name) 
	speaker:SetExtraData("NameColor", 0.764706, 0.431373, 1)
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color3.new(0.764706, 0.431373, 1)) --change color your custom
	task.wait()
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color3.new(1, 1, 1)) --change color back
end


RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(ChangeChatColor)

Local script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.RemoteEvent:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) --registers when a player writes something
	local values = msg:split(" ") --split msg into 2 parts
	if values[1] == "/me" then --if 1 part msg = "/me" then 
		RemoteEvent:FireServer() --send server player name (I use a server for everyone to see(change color))
		
		player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) --registers when a player writes something
			local values = msg:split(" ") --split msg into 2 parts
			if values[1] == "/do" then --if 1 part msg = "/me" then 
				RemoteEvent:FireServer() --send server player name (I use a server for everyone to see(change color))
			end
		end)
	end
end)

CharranCZ · February 6, 2022, 7:31pm

yes use can. (ignore this text)

hypnoticrunner12 · February 6, 2022, 7:33pm

sorry for the trouble I fixed the bug thanks

CharranCZ · February 6, 2022, 7:33pm

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	local values = msg:split(" ")
	RemoteEvent:FireServer(values[1])
end)

CharranCZ · February 6, 2022, 7:35pm

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local Color

local function ChangeChatColor(player,text)
	local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name)
	
	if text == "/me" then
		local Color = Color3.new(0.764706, 0.431373, 1)
		Change(speaker,Color)
	end 
	if text == "/do" then
		local Color = Color3.new(1, 0.423529, 0.431373)
		Change(speaker,Color)
	end
end


RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(ChangeChatColor)


function Change(speaker,Color)
	speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', Color)
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color) 
	task.wait()
	Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
	speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', Color)
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color) 
end

this will work (ignore this text)

hypnoticrunner12 · February 6, 2022, 7:50pm

did you combine the two? and where do I put this?

CharranCZ · February 6, 2022, 7:52pm

replace local script with this:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	local values = msg:split(" ")
	RemoteEvent:FireServer(values[1])
end)

CharranCZ · February 6, 2022, 7:53pm

and server with this

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local Color

local function ChangeChatColor(player,text)
	local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name)
	
	if text == "/me" then
		local Color = Color3.new(0.764706, 0.431373, 1)
		Change(speaker,Color)
	end 
	if text == "/do" then
		local Color = Color3.new(1, 0.423529, 0.431373)
		Change(speaker,Color)
	end
end


RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(ChangeChatColor)


function Change(speaker,Color)
	speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', Color)
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color) 
	task.wait()
	Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
	speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', Color)
	speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color) 
end

And if you want to make this red message, you can use this local script (StarterGui):

game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
	Text = "[!] Write Your Text"; 
	Font = Enum.Font.SciFi; 
	Color = Color3.new(0, 0.4, 1);
	FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size96;
})
