Hello fellow developers, I am currently in the process of developing Mafia Town with @Repotted @Builder_Boy @Mightty @Director1406 and a few other people.
Here’s some sneak peaks(you can find more on my twitter)

However, let’s get to the point, a major roadblock from letting the public test the game is how hard it is to edit Roblox’s default chat. I alone was able to do the following:
~Blackmailed players couldn’t talk at all
~Nicknames instead of player names
~Certain factions/people can talk to each other at night
~Dead people can’t talk to alive people
However, whispers became broken and I just couldn’t track the issue to anywhere. Is there anyone here that has experience with the really unreadable scripts of Roblox’s chat?
This is a big block in the path and I’d like to know what the easiest ways to implement the following would be:
-Server
~Don’t let blackmailed players speak at all
~Mafia can speak to each other at night
~Jailor and Prisoner can speak
-Client
~Nicknames instead of username between [] in the chat
~Nicknames being used to whisper
I have already spent 5+ hours trying to figure out the default Roblox chat and scripting my own custom chat just because one thing didn’t work wouldn’t be worth the extended development period.
