You can get chat service (or any other service) by using GetService

local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")

thats not what i mean. I mean the lua chat system. It has more capability.

  • you put a module in the ChatModules folder like so
  • the module should return a function. said function will run at runtime and ChatService will get passed to it.
-- example mode code
return function (ChatService)
    ChatService:RegisterFilterMessageFunction("Test",function(sender, messageObject, channelName)
         -- you can do whatever you want
    end)
end

oh wait, why did I never think about that. I was just about to edit chat service just for this one thing. thank you so much <3

No problem.

Remember if you still want to use default chat, make sure to have “InsertDefaultModules” set true. Otherwise you can set it to false (or remove it) and have a fully custom chat.
