Help with minor bug or smth

[awesome12734568 (SP_1)]

Hello!
I encountered some kinda of bug in my script that I can’t seem to figure out what is wrong.
Context:
I made myself a small command that skips a loading screen in a localscript
Before you guys go commands should be serversided to prevent exploiters, etc., this command isn’t really game-breaking its just for me so when I playtest my game I can just type the command to skip the loading screen whenever, etc.
The Code that does this:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)

	if tostring(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name) == "awesome12734568" then
		if string.lower(tostring(msg)) == "!system deploy" then
			deployed()
		end
	end
end)

Notes:

• The function itself works perfectly fine. The main issue is that whenever I chat the command the “chatted” event itself doesn’t fire (I tested it with some debugging). Now this piece of code used to work like a month ago and now when I came back to work on stuff it just stopped working which is annoying during playtests.
• Any insight is appreciated, thank you for your time!

Player.Chatted not detecting a chat message

Would have worked with the legacy chat, but the new TextChatService comes with different methods. The flowchart in this article is very neat for understanding the flow: In-Experience Text Chat System | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub and appropriate events. local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService") TextChatService.SendingMessage:Connect(function(textChatMessage) print("Channel: "..textChatMessage.TextChannel.Name) print("Text: "..textChatMessage.Text) end)

I dont think chatted works anymore
Considering they forced everyone to migrate, im not sure why .Chatted isn’t deprecated

edit: or not?

Player.Chatted not working?

This is likely a bug, Player.Chatted was not supposed to be disabled, and should still work for messages. Messages beginning with /e appear to not fire due to a conflict with the newer chat commands system.

from what I can tell on the linked thread, it is broken with the new command objects, but I assume you’re not using them?

Player.chatted not firing when /e commands are used (again)

Its not just /e, any textchatcommand is failing to fire .chatted. All of my custom scripted commands stopped working in the last few days. I use ‘textchatcommand’ objects to hide the commands from the game chat: [image] if i don’t use the textchatcommand objects the commands work as expected. but then the commands show up in the general chat and chat bubbles The textchatcommand objects seem to be blocking the player.chatted event from firing. The texchatcommand being triggered used to A…

(From what I can tell though, .Chatted will eventually be deprecated anyways, so its probably best to migrate)

whats the other version of chatted?

they cover it in the first post I linked
TextChatService.SendingMessage, but theres some differences so its better that you read that post

Thank you for informing me I will try this soon and post this as a solution if it does work. I did not know that they are migrating to TextChatService.
Minor question is this an issue/migration for LocalScripts, because the server is detecting the chatted command but not the client when I tested it further.

Minor question is this an issue/migration for LocalScripts, because the server is detecting the chatted command but not the client when I tested it further.

I’m not really sure, since the last time I worked on this was back when the forced migration was first happening, which was a while ago.
Its possible thats the problem, since I do remember thinking that the new system was more centralized on the server. (Although either way its better to switch)
