Help with textchatservice bubble

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

i had a working typing bubble script that works perfectly on the legacy chat service but for this game i have to use the new textchatservice but i cant find a way to convert it to the latest textchatservice. What this script does is pop up a typing bubble above ur head only when the player is typing their are 2 scripts one for server and the other in client ( put in startergui). Any help to convert this script to the latest Textchatservice would be greatly appreciated

server script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Character)
		local TypingBubble = script.TypingBubble:Clone()
		TypingBubble.Parent = Character.Head
	end)
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.ToggleTypingBubble.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Toggle)
	Player.Character.Head.TypingBubble.Enabled = Toggle
end)

client script ( in startergui )

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.TextBoxFocused:Connect(function(TextBox)
	if TextBox.Name == "ChatBar" then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.ToggleTypingBubble:FireServer(true)
	end
end)

UserInputService.TextBoxFocusReleased:Connect(function(TextBox)
	if TextBox.Name == "ChatBar" then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.ToggleTypingBubble:FireServer(false)
	end
end)

I know it’s been a long time since you posted this, but did you ever figure it out?

I had the same exact problem and I fixed mine by checking if ChatInputBarConfiguration.IsFocused == true

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local TextService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local ChatInputBar = TextService:FindFirstChildOfClass("ChatInputBarConfiguration")

ChatInputBar:GetPropertyChangedSignal("IsFocused"):Connect(function()
	if ChatInputBar.IsFocused == true then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.ToggleTypingBubble:FireServer(true)
	elseif ChatInputBar.IsFocused == false then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.ToggleTypingBubble:FireServer(false)
	end
	
end)
